About Us: OOO – Out of Order®

Since 2013, OOO – Out of Order® has stood out in the watchmaking world for its bold and innovative vision. The idea was born from a personal challenge faced by co-founder Riccardo Torrisi: repairing a luxury watch without having the budget to do so. Inspired by items that become more fascinating over time—like faded jeans or worn leather jackets—a revolutionary concept took shape. Riccardo joined forces with Claudio Dalla Mora and Dario Ceolotto to create a brand that breaks the mold, reimagining the iconic timepieces of the ‘60s and ‘70s with a fresh, contemporary spirit.

This led to the birth of the first “damaged” watches—an entirely new concept in watchmaking, where a worn look becomes a mark of style and authenticity.

Damaged in Italy: The Essence of OOO – Out of Order®

Over the years, OOO – Out of Order® developed and patented its handcrafted Damaged in Italy finish—an exclusive treatment that gives 316L stainless steel cases and bracelets a distinctive, worn appearance. Each detail is hand-finished by expert artisans, making every timepiece one-of-a-kind. This innovative approach remains the beating heart of the brand, internationally recognized for its unique character and unconventional attitude.

The First OOO – Out of Order® Prototype: The Start of a Journey

May 2013 marked the debut of the very first OOO – Out of Order® prototype—a watch that embodied the brand’s defining philosophy: boldness, artisanal care, and authenticity. The goal was ambitious yet clear: to create a timepiece that looked like it had already lived a life, without compromising on quality or precision.

Key Features of the First Model
• Case: Hand-aged stainless steel, 44 mm diameter
• Bezel: Rotating, irregularly brushed
• Crystal: Internally tropicalized mineral glass
• Dial: Applied, artisanally aged indices
• Movement: Miyota 2115 – a reliable and simple quartz movement

OOO – Out of Order® Philosophy: Innovation through Simplicity

At OOO – Out of Order®, simplicity is the starting point for innovation and bold design. That very first prototype laid the groundwork for a production philosophy that still defines the brand today. Each “Damaged in Italy” watch is unique, thanks to handcrafting and its unmistakably lived-in look. This blend of tradition and creativity results in timepieces with a distinct personality.
