ASTRUA 1860

Astrua 1860, one of the oldest watchmakers in Europe, is located in the heart of Turin, between the First Italian Parliament and the National Library.

In addition to several of the world’s most coveted watch brands – including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Omega, Panerai, IWC, Hublot, Baume&Mercier, Longines and Montblanc – Maison Astrua 1860 stocks Murano glass by Venini, creations by Chopard, luxury accessories, Edward Green footwear, Amouage fragrances and Pasotti umbrellas.

ROCCA 1794

In the past, the Rocca Boutique in Turin was distinguished by its illustrious clientele, which included patrons like Giuseppe Verdi, Gabriele D’Annunzio and Luigi Pirandello, in addition to Rocca’s close working relationship with the Royal House of Savoy.
