stile_manifattura — Roma · Lazio
In Borgo Pio, just steps from Saint Peter's and Castel Sant'Angelo, Mastrolorenzi Orologi has upheld since 1923 one of Rome's most enduring artisan traditions: born as a goldsmith's workshop, today a leading boutique for luxury watchmaking.
It all began in 1923, when the first goldsmith's workshop opened in the heart of Rome. A century later, master Massimo and his son Mattia carry that calling forward: a goldsmith's creativity paired with a passion for watchmaking, in a family continuity spanning generations without ever losing the artisan rigour that built the house's reputation.
The commission that, more than any other, marked the workshop's history was the creation of the papal ring for Eugenio Pacelli, elected Pope Pius XII in 1939. A work that sums up Mastrolorenzi's dual soul: technical expertise in watchmaking and artisan goldsmith's creativity, two crafts that still coexist today under the same Borgo Pio roof.
The boutique sees pieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier, IWC, Panerai and other names in fine watchmaking pass through its doors. Every piece — vintage or modern — is assessed with technical rigour and offered at prices in line with the market, without the markups that often come with this trade. A pre-owned buying service rounds out an offer built for those who value trustworthiness over price.
