Our Story: These Cavemen Manfred+Cracco is a Rodania sub-brand aimed at the raw ones: savvy watch-buyers who are comfortable in their own skin. For our 2016 campaign, we reached out to These Cavemen, a collective of Amsterdam-based creatives. They are a film, photographic and literary concept specialising in creative film/production and audiovisual design. Discover their unique take on time through these pages. Their twofold interpretation of the concept of time is expressed through a contrast between time pressure and timelessness. Driven by passion and dreams, young people step outside their comfort zone to achieve their goals. At the other end of that spectrum, we yearn to cocoon ourselves in a place where time has no meaning. If we stay in our comfort zone, we don t push boundaries; by excelling we appreciate the safeness of our cozy home. Discover the story of Lotte and Wout, two creative people aiming high to realise their ambitions and seeking comfort in each other. Make sure to check our video of this campaign, accompanied by Lotte s awesome piano composition. We love it! 2
We believe in people who have a lust for life and know it. Rule-breakers who challenge themselves. Creators, idea-generators, innovators. Always courageous and bold. Young free spirits who define greatness and consciously choose quality. People who inspire. We created this fresh watch brand for them: Manfred+Cracco. Taking our heritage towards a new future BUILDING ON 85 YEARS OF HERITAGE SINCE 1930, WE ARE KEEPING OUR KNOW-HOW AND EXPERTISE ABOUT MANUFACTURING SUPERIOR QUALITY WATCHES, BUT WE ARE ADDING A CUTTING EDGE, MODERN YET TIMELESS DESIGN.
Our Collection Swiss Made Staying true to our culture, everything is based on Swiss quality standards and as always, building quality takes first priority. Only 5% of all watches worldwide are made in Switzerland, with Manfred+Cracco claiming a strong presence within these charts. Materials In our 85 years of proficiency, we have hunted the entire globe only to find the best suppliers and collaborations. Manfred+Cracco stands for superior quality materials, without losing our sense for fashion. Both design and quality complement each other, which leads to timeless watches that last a life span. Interchangeable Mix and match to suit your mood! We created interchangeable straps to match your mood, outfit or occasion, symbolising the dynamics and flexibility of our wearer. The Cross All the above is brought together in the Swiss cross icon, a unique design element which we engraved in the sapphire crystal and on the crown of our watches. The cross functions as a quality label and symbolises the Manfred Aebi & Philip Cracco duo, our vision and our growth towards a new future. It also embodies almost literally the spirit Manfred+Cracco stands for, when the crystal reflects at the incidence of light. 4
