Switzerland is traditionally known as the apex of fine watchmaking, and Notaroberto-Boldrini's new STEP wristwatches make use of the nation's centuries-old techniques while still incorporating distinctly modern design methods. Namely, the brand's watches' shells are constructed through 3D printing, significantly reducing the cost of the fashionable timepieces while still making use of the luxury movement internals.
Notaroberto-Boldrini's STEP wristwatches keep perfect time like any luxury watch, with silky smooth and precise movements. However, the 3D printing makes them far more durable than the standard watch, while also allowing for far more personalization in terms of color. They are currently offered in black, pink, green, and yellow, though there's little limiting them from being designed with any color under the sun.
