Locman #130 'Mare' 47mm Chronograph The Locman Company was founded by Marco Mantovani in Italy in 1986. At that time they were 'third party' manufacturers, offering the finest workmanship but making watches for others. In 1997 the focus of the business changed and they started producing & marketing their own highly inventive designs. Their models are now world renowned & are some of the most elegant, innovative & sophisticated available. Many are made in a combination of hard to fabricate high grade metals, such as titanium & aluminum. These are sometimes finished with diamonds or accented with carbon fiber to make an even more unique timepiece. Other models have taken this combination but have pushed boundaries of watch design with their unique size & shape. Some like the oversize Titanium 'Mare', the aluminum 'Nuovo', '1970' & 'Holy Cross' are modern design classics. They have even worked with the Italian air force to produce the rare multi function 'Tremilla' Chronograph. The result is real quality and a unique truly 'Locman' style which has become a signature of the company. The Locman passion is still based on craft, character and distinctive design. Located in Tuscany the company also has offices in New York, Milan and Florence. Always original, Locman are now one of the leading watch manufacturers in Italy and have rightfully gained a huge worldwide following.

My Policy on USED Items I SELL MANY RARE WATCHES, MOST COME TO ME AS WELL CARED FOR GENTLY USED PIECES. I am extremely thorough in my descriptions and I only buy items I REGARD as 'mint' - '95% good' or better. Often the only way of offering a certain watch for sale is for me to buy it used. This does not mean it's bad! Please ASK questions. I have nothing to hide & understand your caution. If I see any flaw, in any item I will say so. HOWEVER GENTLY, THESE WATCHES HAVE BEEN USED. If you require NEW you must find it & BUY IT- NEW. Unless they are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT to the listing THEY ARE 'SOLD AS DESCRIBED' and 'AS SEEN' PLEASE BE SENSIBLE & ALLOW FOR SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT 'WEAR & TEAR' EVEN ON THE VERY BEST PIECES. THEY ARE NOT NEW! Please let the pictures be your guide & read the listing carefully. If I say it's good - It's GOOD! Some items sold as USED are in fact new but OUT OF WARRANTY. MANY OF THESE ARE MY OWN PERSONAL WATCHES, BOUGHT BUT NEVER USED OR WORN. Most have spent their life in a watch cabinet. Some have never been 'out of the box'. These watches are sold as used ONLY because I cannot supply a current warranty. MY DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE ITEMS ARE (as always) VERY SPECIFIC AND HONEST. Please read the feedback of others who have bought similar items from me. All my listings are correct & factual but I may miss tiny details. On request I can supply more photographs & Info. ALL ITEMS SOLD AS USED WILL NOT BE REFUNDED OR EXCHANGED. PLEASE BUY WITH THIS IN MIND. Thank You
All my watches are quality controlled before dispatch. In the pictures you will see the second hand moving so you can see they are working. I never intentionally send out a watch with a dead battery. If the crystal or case looks ‘hazy’ it may still be covered with the factory plastic. You can buy with confidence from my description. If a watch is not ‘new’ or ‘as new’ or has any fault at all, I will say so. I try to get all measurements right but some may be approximate. Please don’t forget. My aim is 5 star feedback from every sale. If you have any problems with your item please contact me first. Dispatch is usually next day TRUSTED U.K. BUSINESS SELLER…….I SHIP WORLDWIDE PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. As a collector myself, I am delighted to help in any way I can.
