Intense Individuality, Overwhelming Presence
Born in Genoa, Italy in 2016, SPILLO (meaning "jet needle" in Italian) is a brand named after the components of motorcycle carburetors. Founder Marcello Dibloni, while managing a design firm, is also an avid motorcycle enthusiast who owns a custom bike workshop.
In 2011, Marcello himself participated in the Pharaoh Rally, traversing the Egyptian desert on a specially customized Vespa PX150, which garnered global attention. Subsequently, inspired by vintage motorcycle carburetors in his garage, he designed a completely new wristwatch embodying the world of motorsports, giving birth to SPILLO, characterized by its substantial metallic texture and unique vintage aesthetic.
The horse leather strap of this model develops a rich patina with age and use. Meanwhile, the alligator strap, an exotic leather, offers a more distinctive and wild appearance, pairing exceptionally well with the rugged matte black case.
