During the second half of the 19th century the Ceccacci family worked on the production of high quality watchmaking pieces for private customers.
In the first half of the 20th century Sir Giovanni Ceccacci started to produce the first Ceccacci branded pocket watches.
Being a brilliant watchmaker, Sir Giovanni Ceccacci collaborated with important personalities like Frassoni and Melloncelli in the construction of large tower clocks.
Sir Giovanni Ceccacci, already an apprentice watchmaker, set off for the first African Colonial War and he was imprisoned in Addis Abeba in 1895. Soon he was appointed court counselor and official watchmaker of His Majesty the Emperor of Ethiopia, Negus Neghesti Menelik II.
He created for him the ancient clock tower of Addis Abeba (today still visible) and repaired numerous pocket watches. He also made a ring-clock for Queen Taitù Batùl, really appreciated by the Queen and by the whole court.
Back to Italy Sir Giovanni Ceccacci was one of the first to create a revolving display showcase with the parts of some old gramophones which was officially used in his shop and by other retailers.
The Ceccacci Company kept growing and became the most famous watch shop of the Southern Lazio, in Italy.
Throughout those years continued with the installation of tower clocks in various cities and churches of Italy and with the creation of the first collection of Ceccacci wristwatches.
AFTER MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS, CECCACCI STILL REPRESENTS A GUARANTEE FOR THE HIGH QUALITY OF ITS PRODUCTS AND FOR ITS RELIABILITY.
