Founded in the Veneto region of Italy in 2013, Out of Order (OOO) was born from a co-founder's mishap with a pricey watch. This inspired Riccardo Torrisi, along with partners Claudio Dalla Mora and Dario Ceolotto, to create timepieces that embrace imperfection from the start. The brand's core identity is its patented “Damaged in Italy” process, a handcrafted treatment that gives each 316L stainless steel case a unique, aged appearance, ensuring no two watches are identical. This approach intentionally subverts the traditional pursuit of pristine perfection in watchmaking, appealing to those who find beauty in a well-worn object.
