THE STORY
Where we come from.
Why we exist.
The story of SAVICÉNNTI — told directly by the founder.
ROOTED IN ISTRIA
BORN FROM
SVETVINČENAT.
SAVICÉNNTI takes its name from Svetvinčenat — a small historic village in the heart of Istria, known locally as Savičenta.
In English, Svetvinčenat translates to Saint Vincent, referring to the church located in the centre of the village.
Shaped by centuries of culture and Italian influence, the local name carried the sound, character, and heritage that became the foundation of SAVICÉNNTI.
Pronounced Savićennti, with the accent on the “é”, it became the name of our brand.
FROM DESIGNER TO FOUNDER
FROM DESIGNING
WATCHES TO
BUILDING ONE.
After dropping out of college, I had no clear path — only a skillset, a laptop, and a deep obsession with watches.
What started as sketches in my free time became Watch Design Studio in 2019, almost by accident, after creating a Fiverr profile and offering watch design services.
That small beginning grew into years of helping other founders bring their watch ideas to life.
But after building other people’s visions, I knew it was time to build my own.
This time, I was no longer building someone else’s watch brand. I was building my own.
VINTAGE DOXA ANTIMAGNETIC · 34MM
THE WATCH
THAT STARTED
IT ALL.
I was 14 when my late grandfather gave me his vintage Doxa Antimagnetic.
At 34mm, it is small by modern standards — but to this day, it remains my favourite watch.
Until then, I thought every watch was powered by a battery. That one watch opened a new world: mechanical movement, engineering, craftsmanship, and design inside something so small.
It eventually led me to watches, cars, motorcycles, and the obsession with building things properly.
Without this watch, SAVICÉNNTI would not exist.

THE STORY
BEHIND THE BRAND.
SAVICÉNNTI takes its name from Svetvinčenat, a historic village in the heart of Istria, known locally as Savičenta.
It is pronounced Savićennti, with the accent on the “é”.
After years of designing watches for other founders, I knew it was time to stop building other people’s visions and start building my own.
A vintage Doxa Antimagnetic given to me by my late grandfather when I was 14. That watch introduced me to mechanical watches and changed everything.
It means time should not be wasted. Not in life, not in work, and not in the things we choose to build.
