Collection: Exploro24

Exploro24 by TFP:
Time, when adventure never sleeps
Time, when you choose to truly live it.

After the  first two successful  models  Countdown  and Windrose  , we are  happy  to announce  the new  Exploro24.

1. The Idea
Every journey has a precise moment when you stop checking your watch…
and start truly needing it.
Exploro24 was born from this awareness:
when you live across multiple time zones, when you work while others sleep,
when you explore—time is no longer just a sequence of hours.
It is orientation. It is control. It is trust.
TFP created Exploro24 for those who live time 24 hours a day,
without interruptions.

2. Why Exploro24
We didn’t want to create yet another “collector’s watch.”
We wanted to create a travel companion.
Exploro24 is designed for:

• travelers
• professionals working across multiple time zones
  
• urban and non-urban explorers
  
• those who love functional, clean, honest objects

A watch that doesn’t shout, but speaks clearly.

3. The 24-Hour Concept
Time is not always divided into AM and PM.
When you travel or work at night, the day becomes a continuous flow.
Exploro24’s 24-hour display offers:

• greater temporal awareness
• immediate day/night orientation
• a “global” view of time
• smart  GMT function ( same result, easier, cheaper)

It’s not a complication. It’s a philosophy.

4. Design: Function First
Every timepiece by TFP—and Exploro24 is no exception—has a purpose:

• Highly legible dial, free from unnecessary elements
  
• Carefully studied contrasts for maximum clarity
  
• Balanced proportions for everyday wear
• Clean, contemporary aesthetics, free from passing trends
• Diving features :  waterproof up to 280 mt ( 28 ATM)
• Customization options

Italian design is not decoration: it is synthesis and all design process of
Exploro24 is in-house by TFP team  and not  bought off the shelf.

5. Construction and Reliability
Exploro24 is designed to last, not to impress for just five minutes.

• Materials selected for durability and comfort
  
• Attention to detail in assembly (made in Switerland)
• Technical choices driven by real use, not marketing

It’s the watch you put on without thinking about it.
And that’s exactly why it works.

6. Who TFP Is
TFP is an independent Italian watch brand that believes in:

• authentic design
• accessible quality
• the use of only mechanical movements
• direct dialogue with its user community
• respect for the biosphere
  

We don’t produce millions of pieces: only limited editions in small numbers.
We create watches with an identity.
Exploro24 is the result of years of experience, listening, and passion for
functional watchmaking.

Founders, Team , Heritage
TFP  founders are managers  with relevant & Successful professional
experiences, both in Luxury Goods and other businesses.
The stimulating cities of Florence and Lucca have influenced the style and
technical characteristics of the TFP timepieces, as background of the creative
and design skills of the  TFP Engineering Team, led by Antonio Ambuchi: a
professional working between Italy and Switzerland,  with more than 30 years
of highly skilled experience, designing  elegant and sporty and innovative Watch and Luxury Hard Goods, for brands such as Locman, Panerai,
Anonimo, Dino Zei, U-Boat, Kendall, Visconti and  others .

Maurizio Mattucci : one of the founder and   1st CEO of TFP , has also
 been CEO of Visconti   and top manager of many other companies in Luxury
and other industries.  TFP founders   and team helped to grow and to
consolidate these successful stories and now they have deployed their skills
to the service of  thsi new  project, to define and to implement a new concept
of Luxury, looking for another challenge.

7. Special Explorers
We would like to thank our special explorers &  friends who have different
comfort zones, in contact with nature and people worldwide: they  do not
leave us indifferent, but rather they  inspire us to improve ourselves and  to
love all the Biosphere. 
Riccardo Bergamini: whose home  are the highest mountains up to and
beyond 8000 mt, which  he climbs without oxygen.   
Guglielmo Cicerchia: whose home is the deep sea, world champion of
underwater photography.
Lauro Dini:  photographer and expert in trekking between 5000 and 7000 mt,
 Mongolia, Bhutan, South America, ..

8. Why Kickstarter
Kickstarter is not just a funding platform.
It is a methodological choice.
We choose Kickstarter because:

• we want to grow together with the community
• we believe in transparency
• we prefer conscious supporters over distracted customers

Supporting Exploro24 means taking part in its birth, not buying it off an
anonymous shelf.
