Vincero

Vincero launched in 2012 out of an apartment, starting with a watch design crowdfunded on Kickstarter. The brand's name comes from the Latin word meaning "to win," inspired by the phrase "Veni, Vidi, Vici." Their first product was the Italian Marble Automatic watch, and they have since expanded into a full range of lifestyle accessories including watches, jewelry, and bracelets. They are based in San Diego.

The company remains fully independent, funded only by customers rather than outside investors. Since 2018, Vincero has been Climate Neutral certified, measuring and offsetting the carbon footprint of their entire operation—the first accessory brand to earn that designation. They work in small production batches and hand-check every item that comes off the line, releasing new collections methodically rather than chasing volume.
