About Classic 55 - Gai Gohari

Born and raised in Milano Italy, Gai has always been surrounded by style and elegance. When he moved to New York in 2002 he started his career in the precious stone and jewelry trade traveling the USA and Europe visiting the loyal wholesale clientele he built through hard work and devotion. 

In 2008 Gai decided to pursue his strong passion for tailored clothing and joined Astor and Black custom clothiers, the fastest growing company in the industry at the time. Gai established himself as a tasteful clothier serving clients worldwide and building his reputation as a strongly detail oriented custom tailor. Gai has been part of Astor and Black’s chairman’s club reaching incredible heights in the custom clothing industry.

Classic 55 LLC is Gai Gohari’s latest endeavor and has been going strong since 2013: it is built on the experience and book of business acquired through the years in the jewelry and fashion industries. The passion Gai has for sales, elegance and service is a strong tool in satisfying the demands of his loyal clientele.

PHILOSOPHY

Your watch is your loyal companion through your daily adventures. It will be there to tell you your great and successful times and will be there with you during your challenging moments. Always on your wrist, always present, glowing in the dark and even under water. It will record the past, show you the present, and make you reach your future. It is an expression of your style, personality, sophistication and status.

Every watch tells a story. A watch is a great memento to crown the important moments in your life and its a beautiful heirloom to be cherished by those will succeed you. You can buy the car of your dreams or own a beautiful painting yet your watch will be at your wrist in the office and out on a date. Now that is a good way to treat yourself. Every man and woman deserve a watch they can’t wait to tell the time on. This is why Classic 55 is born.
