If fashion is a cycle, then it’s time we revisited the Golden Era of Art Deco.
Inspired by sleek geometry, elegant typography and bold designs of the 1930s, Vario’s Empire Art Deco Watch Collection is merging time with timelessness.
We’ve opted out of impersonal stock parts, choosing instead to give each watch in the collection its own custom-made case, dial, crown, and hands for visual drama. We’ve also pared down the pronounced horn lugs for a more refined, contemporary look.

We've had 4 successful crowdfunding campaign (2 Kickstarter and 2 Indiegogo) and delivered thousands of products to hundreds of backers before this so we understand the process. We will certainly do our best to make sure that the watches case arrive on time so we can get them to our Kickstarter backers as soon as possible.
Vario Empire Automatic will start production in June and we will send out the automatic watches by end September so it pays to get in Early!
