Julius, Italian, class 1967, Navy Officer, Mechanical Engineer with PhD in Microsystems, more than 15 years in the R&D business, is developing Micropropulsion systems for Nanosatellites (www.micro-space.org)  since 2001. In 2007 he got involved with watches with a special project for Sarcar for a 1 Carat floating diamond www.micro-space.org/lifestyle.html. In 2009 Julius decided to apply his creativity, design, prototyping and micromachining skills to the creation of original watches and started the ChronoLex brand, after 6 months the name was changed to Lexychron to avoid conflicts wiht another bigger brand of vaguely similar name that felt threatened by our small but beautiful products. Lexychron was created and launched in May 2010.
