Pita Barcelona
PITA BARCELONA'S PHILOSOPHY
Aniceto and Daniel believe that being an independent watchmaker is about following one’s convictions without fear. An independent watchmaker must deliver unseen functionalities that might challenge the status-quo. Invent the impossible and patent it. Also requires continuously surprising collectors avoiding focus solely on financially profitable creations. And ultimately, the watchmaker should follow a holistic creation process, allowing fully customisation to deliver true bespoke timepieces.
Self taught in watchmaking, Aniceto’s knowledge has been gradually obtained since he opened his own watchmaking and jewellery atelier in 1971. Over the years, his artisan techniques have been complemented by state of the art tools, with the ultimate objective of bringing his ideas to life and sharing his passion in watchmaking with any enthusiast.
Aniceto is a member of the AHCI (Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants) since 2005, the first and only Spanish watchmaker artist ever.
In 2005, Aniceto was the first watchmaker worldwide to start applying magnetism techniques within a mechanical timepiece, patenting two of its ideas to contribute to the innovation in mechanical horology.
