HISTORY
In 1972, at the age of 25, Gianni Versace moved to Milan where he
started to work as a designer. In 1978 he created his first
collection, "Gianni Versace Donna." During the eighties his
creativity as a stylist was widely accled and recognized. He
is viewed as an ambassador for Italian fashion throughout the
world.
The early nineties denoted a very significant phase in the
history of the brand. It was during these years that the strategy
of diversification began to take shape through the creation of
Versace jewelry and watches. The watches all conform to the most
rigorous criteria of Swiss watchmaking while conveying the
glamorous style of the Maison.
In 1996, an agreement with Franck Muller led to the development
of a limited edition range of jewelled watches made in Geneva. In
1998 came the foundation of Versace SA, an independent company
set up for the production and distribution of all Versace jewelry
and watches.
In 2004, Vertime SA was established in Switzerland. Originating
through an agreement between Versace and Timex Group (leader in
the watchmaking sector for over 150 years), Vertime SA is now the
company responsible for the production and distribution of all
Versace watches and jewelry. The jewelry and watches of the
Maison are distributed either through Versace boutiques or
through a select network of licensees.
In 2007 the first Versace store dedicated entirely to the jewelry
and watch collections was opened in Via Bocca di Leone in Rome.
In 2009 the second Versace jewelry store opened in the Dubai
Mall, Dubai.
WATCHES TIMELINE
In 2004, DV One was born, destined to become the iconic timepiece
of the Maison. Produced in ceramic, this watch enjoyed immediate
success. Over the years, DV One was offered in a wide range of
versions: in black or white ceramic, with chronograph or adorned
with precious stones (diamonds, rubies, sapphires).
In 2007, the COSC edition was launched in a limited run boasting
the official Certificate of "Contrôle Officiel Suisse des
Chronomètres."
In March 2008, Versace made its formal entry in to the most
prestigious segment of ultra-complex watch movements with its
first model equipped with a Tourbillon mechanism. Produced in a
limited edition, the Acron Tourbillon highlighted the incredible
skill of the watchmaker with its outstandingly sophisticated
technical specifications.
All Versace watches are made in Switzerland. The high quality of
each timepiece from the Maison is guaranteed by the rigorous
controls and strict criteria demanded for Swiss certification.

Process accord (KPCS), all diamonds ed on Versace watches
and jewelry originate in conflict-free zones and are obtained
exclusively from authorized sources.
