by Italia Independent, the first company in the world
to introduce the velvet effect on eyewear. In 2014,
Italia Independent and Hublot signed a multi-year,
synergistic agreement for the manufacture of a series
of products in their respective fields of excellence.
The collection included glasses and watches with
stylistic and technical cutting-edge features. Such
characteristics are capable of exploiting the know-
how of the two companies that worked together
during the development. The project was unveiled at
a press conference held in Baselworld in March 2014.
I can also summarise the journey of Italia
Independent in one line - "Being independent
means writing your own story every day"!
TIO: The last couple of years have been very
tough for everyone, including the eyewear industry.
What challenges did Italia Independent face and
” ITALIA
