Luigi Verga Orologi, an authoritative Milanese watchmaking salon based in Corso Vercelli at number 19, is expanding its range of products and adding to the prestigious Swiss mechanical watch brands of which it is the official dealer, the Garmin brand, known for being the leading company in the production of GPS devices. Thanks to its considerable technological know-how, Garmin faces a new challenge and celebrates its 30th anniversary with the introduction of a line of genuine toolwatches. This is the Marq collection, which in terms of technical innovation, sophisticated design and choice of materials, meets the high quality standards of the watch industry. Valeria Verga, owner of the shop, says: "We live in the 21st century and we are all connected to a technological tool on a daily basis. Who among us does not have a mobile phone, PC, IPAD or GPS navigator? Garmin with its Marq collection, with its excellent workmanship and refined design, was a natural choice to meet the needs of a clientele in step with the times. Very often, the watch is matched to one's look or the activities practised. The watches in the Marq line are ideal for putting at ease those who love to sail, fly, run on and off the track, go on adventures and, of course, want to know what time it is!". Garmin's Marq collection is aimed at keen sportsmen and sportswomen in search of highly professional devices that not only measure time, but also provide data and information of great value while practising their favourite sport. There are five models in the Marq collection, which meet five different worlds and five different passions: Marq Aviator (aviation), Marq Captain (navigation), Marq Driver (motoring), Marq Expedition (exploration) and Marq Athlete (sport). Each model is crafted with robust materials and state-of-the-art technology that guarantees long life and the highest performance in every context. A grade 2 titanium case, a domed sapphire crystal mounted in a vacuum that allows the sun's rays to filter through allowing optimal reading in all light conditions, a battery that ensures up to 12 days of autonomy in smartwatch mode, up to 28 hours in GPS mode and up to 48 hours in UltraTrac mode, are just some of the pluses of this collection that Luigi Verga Orologi is pleased to count among its selected proposals. The watches are complemented, depending on the version, by leather, jacquard fabric, titanium or silicone bracelets in different colours, interchangeable via Garmin's Quickfit system. They also have an internal memory for uploading music, and the Garmin Pay function allows contactless payments. Luigi Verga Orologi and Garmin are therefore two prestigious names united by the desire to innovate, to be proactive and to excel in the quality of service offered. These are just a few of the fundamental values that they both pursue on a daily basis and which consequently make them perfect partners.
