The ambitious idea of Alfredo Marciano to create the EMPIRE company, was made in the rich and colorful countryside at the end of the roots of the volcano Vesuvio, not far away from the sparkling city of Pompeii. This young businessman, who is already well known in the area of Poggiomarino for his activities of social sanitary, was illuminated by the fascination of mechanic. He wanted to create an �empire� of first materials, colors, designs, rhythms and of clear ticking noises to choose from: THE WATCH. This instrument, which we have learned to appreciate so much, is inseparable from mankind. It is capable of organizing our daily schedules and it helps us to have a complete overview of our most significant experiences. Clearly spoken, it�s the basis of our project. Will the Empire watches be able to follow us faithfully in our long innovating route in the years to come?
