Brand vibe
Founded in 1986 in Marina di Campo on Elba Island (you may recall Elba from history class as the island Napoleon was exiled to). Locman started up as a design-slash-third-party manufacturing studio serving Swiss houses before launching its own brand in 1988. Founder Marco Mantovani (born on Elba in 1961) partnered with Milanese watch factory Genesi (active since the 1950s) and, briefly, with Carlo Crocco of Hublot, who took a stake and distributed Locman globally from 1990.

Not enough information for a duty figure
The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
