Aqualab Aquamarine
Aqualab Aquamarine
An expression of Italian design dedicated to the spirit of the sea.
With Aqualab, Gagà Laboratorio extends its vision into the world of diving watches, interpreting this category through its distinctive design culture and its contemporary understanding of lifestyle luxury. More than a professional instrument, Aqualab is conceived as a companion for those who embrace both adventure and refinement as part of their daily lives.
At the heart of the project lies the idea that a sports watch should not only perform under demanding conditions, but also express a strong aesthetic identity. Aqualab embodies this philosophy through a design that is both functional and emotional, technical yet deeply expressive.
The watch immediately reveals its belonging to the Gagà Laboratorio universe. The case architecture follows the brand’s signature language, defined by fluid transitions, balanced proportions and sculptural volumes. Its distinctive silhouette is further enhanced by the dual-crown construction, a technical solution that allows the adjustment of the internal rotating dive bezel while preserving the purity of the external form.
The inspiration behind Aqualab originates from the desire to imagine how the Gagà Laboratorio design codes could naturally evolve into a true sports watch. This creative exploration led to a timepiece where dynamic lines, organic forms and subtle references to classical watchmaking coexist with a strong modern presence.
Aqualab is offered in three distinctive interpretations, each reflecting a different character within the collection:
Aquamarine – A luminous expression inspired by the clarity and depth of coastal waters, evoking the relaxed sophistication of Mediterranean summers.
Anthracite – A more instrumental interpretation, where darker tones emphasize the watch’s technical and adventurous nature.
Silver Grey and Blue – A timeless composition expressing discreet elegance and metropolitan versatility.
Beyond its technical vocation, Aqualab represents an invitation to experience time differently — as a balance between movement and stillness, performance and contemplation. Its presence on the wrist conveys both confidence and ease, strength and refinement.
With Aqualab, Gagà Laboratorio continues to define its own path, where Italian design sensibility meets technical purpose, giving life to timepieces created not only to measure time, but to interpret it.

ITALIAN DESIGN MEETS SWISS PRECISION IN LUXURY WATCHMAKING
In 2020, Ruben Tomella decided to leverage the expertise of Manufacture Gagà SA, the Swiss company that has been designing and producing high-end watches for Gagà Milano since 2012, to embark on a new venture in the world of luxury watches.
Joined by his friend Mo Coppoletta, a modern aesthete and deep connoisseur of the watchmaking industry (now the Art Director of Gagà Laboratorio), Tomella envisioned a new luxury watch brand with a distinctive stylistic line. This new brand aims to capture the essence of “beauty” in its purest form through exceptional Italian design and Swiss precision.
Drawing on years of watchmaking know-how and strong relationships with Swiss manufacturers, Gagà Laboratorio combines creative thinking with high-level craftsmanship. The result is a collection of luxury timepieces of the highest quality, carving out a unique space in the world of independent luxury watchmaking.
Explore the exquisite craftsmanship and innovative design of Gagà Laboratorio watches, where Italian creativity meets Swiss precision to create timeless pieces for watch enthusiasts and collectors.
After twenty years leading the Gagà Milano brand (which is still owned by Ruben Tomella), I felt that the time had come to change and make a leap into a new world.
Since I am a true lover of ‘beauty’ in all its forms, I decided to embark on a new adventure: creating timepieces that would captivate collectors from a design perspective.
