The Meccaniche Veloci Ace Café — The Rebirth of an Icon
The gritty, raw retro styling of the new Meccaniche Veloci Ace Café Collection personifies what speed and performance meant to an entire generation. This bold, brash watch takes its name from London’s famous Ace Café.
The legendary Ace Café eatery opened in 1938 to accommodate traffic on London’s new North Circular Road and immediately begin to attract motorcyclists and young people looking for excitement.

The café was rebuilt in 1949, after being destroyed during a World War II air raid. During the post-war era, the British motorcycle industry was at its peak and the café became more popular than ever. It became home to the Rocker Movement during the 60’s, and to this day, the Ace Café remains a popular destination for motorcyclists from all over the world to share stories of speed, performance and Rock and Roll.
