New Opening: Restivo’s Wristwatch Showroom.
Catania - October 28th, 2011 - 19.00

The company headed by John Restivo with his son Francis and his daughter Beatrice, honoured by the acknowledgement of the success of the Patek Philippe event in Catania, on Friday, October 28th consolidated the family’s jewellery business in Sicily with the inauguration of “Restivo’s Wristwatch Showroom”, located next to their historic jewellery shop in C.so Italia n° 256.

The interior design emphasizes the presence of Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet and the display of all watches brands represented by Restivo with the creation of niches in neutral colours in which display cases are positioned. "The decision was to work with the existing architecture, creating a design which, externally, recalled the historical shop but connecting it with a flexible and easily exploitable interior space" says Giovanni Restivo. Thanks to Giovanni’s ever working innovative spirit, the new space was created to guarantee his clientele a better after-sales service with the presence of the wristwatch space placed in a central area of the shop. Completing the general idea of flexibility of the new Restivo’s wristwatch showroom are the large external windows, which create a rectangular display. Great attention was paid to the lighting effects which, with the help of an automation system, creates the most appropriate light for materials and exhibits on display. This project was managed by the architects of the Visual Project Studio. Two adjoining rooms in a well blended mix of old and modern, where tradition and innovation are the jewels and the wristwatches are the undisputed protagonists. During the inauguration, Restivo welcomed both friends and clients to toast the new showroom in the enchanting ambiance of an enclosed winter garden with the symbolic "flower clock" that marked the beginning of the celebrations.
