Statera - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

Statera is a watch brand founded in 2021 in Maringá (Paraná, Brazil) by Rafael Guimarães and Antonio Almir dos Santos Neto. It was created to blend classical watch design with hands-on craftsmanship and a measure of local production, aimed at enthusiasts of independents who value materials, colour work and a clean time display.

Maringá workshop and the ambition of a Brazilian independent

Based in southern Brazil, the brand has gained attention for an “atelier” approach that embraces local roots while echoing Swiss craft codes; specialist media have noted it as one of the first Brazilian-born, Brazil-built watch projects to stake this claim.

Grand feu enamel: opaque and transparent

Statera’s visual core lies in grand-feu enamel dials, offered in fully opaque executions and “transparent” variants that reveal an underlying texture; adopting grand-feu enamel at this price level defines the identity while naturally keeping production cadence measured.

ST01 Calculus and ST02: sizes, movements and use cases

The ST family spans a dress-leaning debut piece and a more versatile line, available in two footprints (37 mm or 39 mm) with a slim profile around 9.9 mm; ST02 references use La Joux-Perret’s G101 automatic (68 hours) while the ST01 focuses on a small-seconds dress watch character.

• Statera ST01 Calculus — A classically styled dress watch with sector dial and small seconds; positioned as a timeless entry into the brand’s world.
• Statera ST02 Esmalte Grand Feu (opaque) — Three-hander with central seconds, full enamel dial, 37 or 39 mm, about 9.9 mm thick, 30 m water-resistance.
• Statera ST02 Esmalte Grand Feu (transparent) — Same case and movement architecture, translucent enamel treatment, paired with artisan leather straps.

Positioning, pricing and selective distribution

Statera targets “attainable fine watchmaking” with a yearly output around 300 pieces and a short channel mixing direct sales with a few specialist partners in Europe; as a guide, the ST02 is listed from roughly CHF 2,600 excluding VAT per public references.

Conclusion

Statera appeals to collectors who want clear legibility and demanding materials/finishing, with Brazilian roots and genuinely small-batch execution. The brand is identifiable through its grand-feu enamel dials, compact sizes and use of proven calibres. Between the more formal Statera ST01 Calculus and the more versatile Statera ST02 (opaque or transparent), your decision will hinge on desired expressiveness and wrist presence. To compare the promise with real-world wear (legibility, comfort, perceived precision), rely on Dialicious customer reviews.
