In many instances, form and function seem to be at war in a sense. Often, the designs that most appeal to us visually are not the ones that work the most efficiently. Conversely, many consumers find themselves sacrificing on style in order to ensure that the products they buy are reliable and well manufactured. As an example, those who would like to enjoy men’s watches aesthetically have found that they the timepieces they are naturally drawn to are not always as durable and sturdy as they could be. The more luxurious the watch, the more fragile it seems to be—which is unfortunate for those who looking to add style to their daily lives.

What We Love about Locman
This is one reason why we’re so interested in Locman watches. Among luxury accessory designers, they stand out for marrying form and function together most seamlessly. That this company produces stunning, eye-catching time pieces is undeniable. But these devices are also built to stand up to a rigorous lifestyle, with rugged features that are sure to come in handy. For instance, many of their models are specifically listed as water resistant to ten times normal atmospheric pressure or more. In fact, these so-called luxury items are so dependable that this company has a contract to produce watches for the Italian Armed Forces, and yet are still attractive enough to garner the attention of international celebrities.

Another thing we really like about this designer is their commitment to research and innovation. While other manufacturers are content to keep using the same methods and materials, Locman is at the forefront of research, and were the first to introduce watch cases made from carbon fiber and other materials. This constant remaking means that these devices are not only dependable, but future-minded. By buying a device that’s well ahead of its time, you can feel confident that you won’t be left in the past.
Some Things We Don’t Like about Locman
Of course, all things being equal, there are some things about this company and their products that we’re less than sure about. While we are duly impressed by the constant need to reinvent that drives this designer, this has the potential of having a potential setback later down the road for customers. While this company does offer dozens of classic designs, timepieces that are innovative and at the height of fashion today may not weather the test of time. Luxury accessories are an investment of sorts, and thus future tastes might also be taken into consideration. Generally though, we love almost all of this designer’s products.
History of the Brand
The Locman company is Italian, began in 1986 by Marco Mantovani. Originally, this company produced chronographs for other brands, but struck out on their own in 1997. With highly successful models such as the Linea Sport line, this company soon made a name for themselves on the international fashion circuit. The ensuing years have only brought growth, and this company now counts itself among the top makers in Italy. These timepieces have been spotted on the wrists of dozens of celebrities, including David Beckham and Elton John.
