Falco was born from lifelong obsessions with vintage watches and a shared belief that the best watches aren’t just worn, they’re lived with.
Our story
For Stefano, watches have been part of the story from the very beginning. He grew up around them, long before he ever called himself a dealer. His father was a commercial saturation diver after serving in the Special Forces, and when Stefano was old enough to notice, there was always a Seamaster 600 “Ploprof” on his wrist. As anyone who knows that watch can appreciate, it leaves an impression.
That moment lit the spark. From collecting magazines to digging through car boot sales, to buying and selling vintage watches with whatever budget he had, the obsession never faded.
Tommy’s path runs parallel. Coming from a background in science and engineering, he has always been fascinated by the intricacies of mechanical objects. Outside of work, golf, and his wife, watches (particularly Universal Genève chronographs) are all he thinks about. A doctorate, several ventures, and countless watches later, he decided to turn his passion into profession.
The Creative Eye
Every watch we sell needs to be seen the way we see it and that’s where Jake comes in. Known internally as the Head of Crayons, he leads our creative direction. With a gifted eye and a healthy dose of confidence, he’s produced visuals that bring these mechanical objects to life — and earned a reputation for some of the most distinct photography in the space.
What We Do
Falco exists to bring extraordinary watches to people who appreciate what makes them special. The history, the design, the engineering, and the stories they’ve carried. We curate a focused selection of vintage pieces, chosen not by trend but by character. Our aim is simple:
To share the wonder of vintage watchmaking with a wider world, one great watch at a time.
