In August 2024, Brazilian designers Rafael Guimaraes and Antonio Almir Dos Santos Neto launched Statera Watch Co, presenting their first hand-enameled watches. To their surprise, they received a preliminary order from Geneva, a hub of watchmaking tradition. Guimaraes plans to deliver a 39mm steel watch model in Switzerland. The duo shifted careers—the former a software salesman and the latter a veterinarian—to pursue their passion for watches, which emerged during the pandemic as they grew frustrated with rising vintage watch prices, prompting the idea of creating their own brand.
We were astounded to receive a preliminary order from Geneva. You are selling watches to the place where people have the tradition of making watches.
After the pandemic, when we saw prices doubling for vintage Omega Speedmasters, we thought: why not make our own? It was an exciting idea.
