NAGOMA. Two makers. One language.
When two craftsmen share the same language, something rare becomes possible. Not a language of words, but of tolerances, surfaces, restraint, and the quiet pursuit of perfection.
Nagoma is the first collaborative creation between Luca Soprana and Emmanuel Esposito: two Italian master craftsmen from different disciplines, brought together by a shared philosophy of making. What emerged is not a watch accompanied by a knife, nor a knife designed to match a watch. It is a single vision, expressed through two highly precise and entirely handmade mechanical objects.
Italian by culture. Mechanical by nature.
Key elements
-
A revised LSTO calibre
At the heart of the Soprana Nagoma beats the hand-wound Calibre LSTO, designed and manufactured entirely in-house in Vaumarcus. Its architecture is defined by a large balance wheel, a mirror-polished steel balance bridge, and an in-house hairspring with Breguet overcoil — a movement conceived not only for precision, but for beauty, balance, and coherence in construction.
-
A sleek case
The 38.8 mm case, standing just under 10 mm thick, reflects Luca Soprana’s deliberate commitment to the classical proportions of the great twentieth-century dress watches. Restrained, elegant, and perfectly balanced on the wrist, it gives Nagoma a timeless presence, shaped by clarity, proportion, and refinement rather than excess.
-
A MoP dial
The dial is the visual signature of Nagoma. Composed of individually hand-sorted fragments of black-lip mother-of-pearl, cut and arranged one by one, its mosaic surface constantly shifts between darkness and light, giving each watch a unique identity and a living, ever-changing presence on the wrist.
The Watch
The Soprana Nagoma is built upon the Soprana Time Only, Luca Soprana’s first watch under his own name: a three-hand dress watch created in microscopic numbers, with one ambition only — to perfect the essential.
For Nagoma, that philosophy becomes a point of encounter. The watch is not treated as a neutral object to be decorated, but as a complete mechanical expression shaped through dialogue between two craftsmen. Every choice follows the same logic: restraint, coherence, and absolute respect for the integrity of the object.
Nagoma brings a new material and emotional dimension to the Soprana universe, while remaining fully aligned with its values: precision, depth, and the pursuit of lasting beauty through honest construction.
