RAPP Clockworks was created by Ricardo Antonio Perez, a sophisticated world travelled man born in Panama and raised in Pasadena, California, hence the acryonym R-A-P-P. After working with various fashion brands, world travels, and social jet setting, Ricardo Antonio decided to create RAPP Clockworks in 2012 to showcase his vision of style, design and timepiece craftsmaship. The RAPP Black company upholds the founders 3 values – independent, non-conformist, and maven. From the beginning, RAPP was curated to be different from the typical timepiece companies. The design, craftsmanship, materials, and branding sets RAPP apart from the rest. Instead of focusing on exaggerated gimmicks, we hone in on the vintage and modern aspects of the timepiece itself. To RAPP Black, independence means bypassing affiliations with larger controlling units. Non-conformist means standing against what is generally accepted amongst society. Maven means to have experience and knowledge concerning the art. RAPP Black timepieces have been designed independent from trends and licenses, allowing us to use unique worldwide materials, components, construction, and finishes. RAPP represents non-conformist through our usage of complicated movements and leather strap constructions. Maven is evident in our history – our knowledge and experience with watch making, exposure to cultures worldwide, and the confidence to continue our journey in standing apart from the rest. Our clockworks are designed with these three values to make up the DNA of the Socially Strong and Beautiful.
