About Anonimo Watches

About Anonimo Watches | Italian Design, Swiss Watchmaking, Militare & Nautilo

Anonimo Watches combine distinctive Italian design with contemporary Swiss mechanical watchmaking, creating robust automatic watches recognised for cushion-shaped cases, unconventional crown positioning, professional diving heritage and an early commitment to bronze watch construction. Founded in Florence, Italy, in 1997, Anonimo established its reputation through purpose-built watches developed around professional use rather than conventional luxury styling. Early collaborations with professional divers helped shape technically capable watches with exceptional water resistance, while the later Militare and Nautilo collections introduced design signatures that remain fundamental to the brand today. Since moving its headquarters to Switzerland in 2013, Anonimo watches have carried the Swiss Made designation while preserving the Italian aesthetic and functional philosophy established in Florence.

The History of Anonimo Watches

Anonimo was founded in Florence in 1997, giving the company a relatively young history compared with centuries-old Swiss maisons but allowing it to develop an identity free from many conventional watchmaking traditions. From the beginning, the brand focused strongly on professional equipment, diving watches and functional mechanical design.

Florence provided a particularly appropriate foundation. Tuscany has a long history of specialist craftsmanship, leatherworking, metalworking and design, while the wider region already had meaningful connections with professional diving and maritime activity.

Anonimo became particularly associated with the Cooperativa Nazionale Sommozzatori, or C.N.S., an organisation of professional divers. Working in an environment where watches were expected to perform as functional equipment rather than jewellery helped shape the manufacturer's early philosophy.

Professional Anonimo diving watches were developed with patented sealing systems, protected crowns and water resistance reaching exceptional depths. The historic Professionale was tested to approximately 2,000 metres, demonstrating how seriously Anonimo approached underwater watch engineering during its early years.

From Florence to Switzerland

Anonimo's identity combines two major European watchmaking traditions.

The design philosophy originated in Florence, where large cushion-shaped cases, strong proportions and expressive use of materials established an unmistakably Italian personality.

Swiss mechanics were also present from the beginning. Anonimo states that its watches have always been powered by Swiss movements.

In 2013, the company moved its headquarters to Switzerland. From that point, its watches became compliant with the official Swiss Made designation while retaining the Italian character that had defined the brand since 1997.

The combination remains central today: Swiss automatic mechanical movements sit inside designs strongly influenced by Italian aesthetics, professional equipment and Anonimo's Florentine origins.

Italian Design Meets Swiss Watchmaking

The phrase Italian design and Swiss precision is particularly appropriate for Anonimo because the two influences can be identified separately within the finished watch.

The external architecture is unmistakably expressive. Cushion-shaped cases, large numerals, unusual crown positions and substantial straps create watches with a visual confidence commonly associated with Italian industrial design.

Inside, current Anonimo watches use Swiss Made automatic mechanical movements supplied by respected independent movement manufacturer Sellita.

This gives buyers the opportunity to experience an unusual design language without giving up the reliability, servicing infrastructure and mechanical construction expected from contemporary Swiss automatic watchmaking.

The Meaning of Anonimo

The Italian word Anonimo means anonymous.

The name reflects a philosophy in which the object itself should receive greater attention than the personality responsible for creating it.

This is an unusual approach in a luxury industry where founders, designers and celebrity associations can dominate brand identity.

Anonimo instead developed watches whose architecture became recognisable independently: the Militare crown system, cushion cases, triangular dial signatures and distinctive Nautilo diving design communicate the manufacturer without requiring an oversized logo.

Anonimo and Professional Diving

Professional diving played a major role in Anonimo's earliest development.

The company became known within demanding underwater environments where water resistance, crown security and reliability mattered far more than fashion.

Anonimo's early professional diving watches included patented technical solutions created to improve sealing and withstand significant pressure.

The historic Professionale represented the extreme end of this development and was successfully tested at approximately 2,000 metres.

Although the contemporary catalogue is centred around Militare, Nautilo and Epurato, this early professional heritage explains why rugged cases and meaningful water resistance continue to feature strongly within the modern brand.

Anonimo and Bronze Watches

Bronze is one of the materials most closely associated with Anonimo.

The company identifies itself as a pioneer in bringing bronze into modern diving watches, using an alloy traditionally associated with marine environments and nautical engineering.

Bronze develops a surface patina as it reacts with air, moisture and the wearer's environment. This means two initially identical bronze watches can gradually develop noticeably different appearances.

For collectors, this creates a particularly personal ownership experience. The watch changes physically as it is worn rather than remaining visually static.

Modern Anonimo continues to use bronze across selected Militare and Epurato references, preserving one of the most historically important material signatures of the brand.

The Anonimo Cushion-Shaped Case

One of the clearest design signatures across the modern Anonimo range is the cushion-shaped case.

A cushion case combines elements of circular and square geometry, producing rounded corners and a broad central body.

The format creates substantial visual presence while maintaining softer lines than a completely angular square watch.

Anonimo uses this architecture across Militare, Nautilo and Epurato, adjusting proportions, bezels and crown placement according to the intended purpose of each collection.

The resulting family resemblance helps make an Anonimo identifiable even before the dial branding is read.

The Anonimo Triangle Dial Signature

Anonimo dials frequently use an unusual triangular arrangement at 4, 8 and 12 o'clock.

The positioning references the letter A in Anonimo and has become one of the company's recognisable design signatures.

Rather than relying solely on a conventional applied logo, the geometry is incorporated into the dial layout itself.

The result creates visual balance while providing another subtle identifier shared across different Anonimo collections.

Anonimo Militare Watches

The Anonimo Militare is the emblematic collection of the modern brand and arguably the watch that most clearly communicates its professional origins.

Militare watches are deliberately strong, substantial and unconventional. Current models use approximately 43.5mm cushion-shaped cases and a distinctive crown system positioned between the upper lugs at 12 o'clock.

A special locking mechanism secures the crown and contributes to approximately 120 metres of water resistance on current models.

Positioning the crown at 12 o'clock also improves comfort because a conventional crown does not project into the wearer's wrist during movement.

The modern range includes Militare Automatic, Militare Automatic Vintage, Militare Chrono and Militare Chrono Vintage, alongside specialist and limited-edition watches.

For enthusiasts searching for Anonimo Militare watches, military-inspired watches, Swiss automatic watches, automatic chronographs, cushion case watches and unusual men's watches, Militare provides the strongest expression of the Anonimo identity.

Discover Anonimo Militare Watches

The Anonimo Militare Crown System

The crown is one of the most recognisable elements of a Militare.

Instead of sitting conventionally at three o'clock, it is positioned at 12 o'clock between the upper lugs.

A patented locking structure protects the crown and creates an unmistakable visual feature above the dial.

The architecture serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. Protecting the crown helps reduce vulnerability during active use, while removing it from the side of the case can improve comfort on the wrist.

This is an important example of Anonimo's design philosophy: unusual architecture is generally connected with functionality rather than being included purely for visual novelty.

Anonimo Militare Automatic Watches

Militare Automatic models provide the core Anonimo experience through a straightforward three-hand mechanical configuration.

Current watches use Swiss Made automatic movements and combine them with the signature cushion case and protected 12 o'clock crown system.

A date display adds everyday practicality while prominent hands and indices preserve the highly legible character expected from a professional-inspired watch.

The absence of chronograph counters also allows the distinctive case architecture to remain the visual focus.

Anonimo Militare Chronograph Watches

The Militare Chrono adds one of mechanical watchmaking's most useful sporting complications to the collection.

Current chronographs use a Swiss automatic movement architecture built around the Sellita SW300-1 together with a Dubois-Dépraz 2035-M bi-compax chronograph module developed specifically for Anonimo.

The resulting two-register configuration provides elapsed-time functionality while maintaining good dial balance.

For collectors interested in Swiss automatic chronographs, military chronographs and unusual chronograph watches, the Militare Chrono offers functionality within an architecture substantially different from conventional round Swiss sports watches.

Anonimo Militare Chrono Vintage

The Militare Chrono Vintage combines Anonimo's professional case architecture with more historically influenced dial treatments.

Clarindon's current range includes distinctive designs such as Panda and Newman configurations.

Contrasting chronograph registers introduce the visual language associated with classic twentieth-century racing and sports chronographs while the 12 o'clock crown system keeps the watch unmistakably Anonimo.

This makes Militare Chrono Vintage particularly attractive to collectors who appreciate vintage chronograph aesthetics but want a highly unconventional modern case.

Anonimo Militare Bronze Watches

Bronze and Militare form a particularly natural combination.

The warm metal reinforces the rugged equipment-like appearance of the watch, while the gradual formation of patina allows the case to develop greater individuality over time.

Clarindon's current Anonimo selection includes Militare references using bronze as well as conventional steel configurations.

For buyers specifically searching for bronze automatic watches, bronze chronographs and Italian-inspired bronze watches, Militare provides one of the strongest expressions of Anonimo's material heritage.

Anonimo Militare Alpini Limited Editions

Military influence becomes especially explicit through Anonimo's Alpini limited editions.

Clarindon's current selection includes both Camouflage Brown and Camouflage Green limited-edition Militare references.

The camouflage treatments reinforce the collection's military identity while preserving the core mechanical architecture of Militare.

For collectors, specialist colourways and limited production create an additional level of individuality beyond regular collection watches.

Anonimo Militare WRC Special Edition

Anonimo's connection with sport has also produced watches such as the Militare Chrono WRC Special Edition.

The chronograph architecture naturally lends itself to motorsport because elapsed-time measurement remains one of the complications most closely associated with racing.

Clarindon currently lists the WRC Special Edition within its Anonimo range, adding another specialist option for collectors who appreciate mechanical chronographs and motorsport themes.

Anonimo Nautilo Watches

The Anonimo Nautilo represents the maritime and diving side of the brand.

The collection was developed with important input from Dino Zei, a military engineer who joined Anonimo permanently in 2003 and worked on both the design and material development of the Nautilo.

Current Nautilo watches use a distinctive cushion-shaped case, automatic Swiss movement and professional-style diving architecture.

The modern Nautilo 42mm uses a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated ceramic insert, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and case back, and approximately 200 metres of water resistance.

Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers supports underwater readability, while the Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement provides dependable mechanical timekeeping.

For buyers searching for Anonimo Nautilo watches, Swiss dive watches, Italian-designed dive watches, automatic divers, 200m dive watches and cushion case diving watches, Nautilo remains one of the strongest areas of the collection.

Explore Anonimo Nautilo Watches

The History of the Anonimo Nautilo

The Nautilo emerged after Dino Zei joined Anonimo during the early 2000s.

Zei brought military engineering experience and contributed both to the visual design and to the materials selected for the watch.

This resulted in a diving collection that combined Anonimo's Florentine design identity with professional functionality.

Rather than imitating the exact architecture of familiar Swiss divers, Nautilo retained a cushion-shaped case and unconventional crown positioning, giving the collection a distinctive identity of its own.

Anonimo Nautilo 42mm

The contemporary Nautilo 42mm provides a versatile interpretation of Anonimo's diving heritage.

The 42mm cushion-shaped stainless-steel case offers strong wrist presence without moving into excessively large dimensions.

Water resistance is rated to 200 metres or 20 ATM, supported by a screw-down crown and case back.

A unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert allows elapsed dive time to be monitored, while an anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial.

Inside is the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1, offering approximately 38 hours of power reserve.

Anonimo Nautilo Vintage Watches

The Nautilo Vintage family gives the dive-watch platform a more historically influenced personality.

Clarindon's current selection contains numerous Nautilo Vintage references across blue, brown, green and other colour combinations.

Vintage treatments can soften the otherwise highly technical character of the diving case, creating watches that transition easily from sports use into everyday wear.

The collection is particularly appealing to customers who enjoy the appearance of heritage divers but want modern Swiss automatic construction.

Anonimo Nautilo Classic Watches

Nautilo Classic offers a cleaner interpretation of the diving collection.

Clarindon carries numerous current Classic references with different dial colours, strap options and bracelets.

These watches preserve the technical foundations of Nautilo while offering highly versatile everyday styling.

For many buyers, Nautilo Classic provides the ideal balance between Anonimo's unusual design language and the familiar functionality of a modern automatic diver.

Anonimo Nautilo Limited Editions

Nautilo has also provided the foundation for several specialist limited editions.

Clarindon's range includes references such as the Nautilo Leopard Racing 2019 Limited Edition and Nautilo Sailing Limited Edition.

These models demonstrate the versatility of the Nautilo platform, moving between maritime identity, sailing and motorsport-inspired design without abandoning the core automatic sports-watch architecture.

Anonimo Epurato Watches

The Anonimo Epurato represents the more refined and urban side of the brand.

Introduced in 2018, Epurato was created to provide a smarter and more elegant interpretation of the company's established design codes.

The collection retains the characteristic cushion-shaped case and triangular dial signature but reduces the overtly professional character associated with Militare and Nautilo.

Current models use approximately 42mm cases, sapphire crystal, Swiss Made automatic movements and a relatively slim 11.6mm profile.

Steel, DLC-treated and bronze versions provide different personalities, while leather and specialist straps handmade in Italy reinforce the connection with Anonimo's design heritage.

For customers searching for Anonimo Epurato watches, Swiss automatic dress watches, cushion case watches, Italian-designed watches and contemporary men's watches, Epurato provides the most versatile everyday option in the current catalogue.

Discover Anonimo Epurato Watches

Anonimo Epurato Steel Watches

The Epurato Steel provides the cleanest and most versatile expression of the collection.

Its 42mm stainless-steel cushion case is paired with a fluted bezel and anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

Current models use the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing a minimum power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

A transparent case back allows the customised Anonimo oscillating weight to be viewed.

Anonimo Epurato Bronze Watches

Epurato Bronze combines the more elegant architecture of the collection with one of Anonimo's historically important materials.

The current model uses nautical bronze for its cushion-shaped case.

As the watch is worn, the bronze can gradually develop a patina, introducing a degree of individuality that contrasts with the otherwise refined styling of Epurato.

The combination provides a particularly interesting option for someone who likes bronze watches but does not necessarily want a large professional dive or military design.

Anonimo Epurato DLC Watches

The Epurato DLC moves the collection into a darker contemporary aesthetic.

DLC, or diamond-like carbon, is a hard surface coating used to create a deep dark appearance and improve resistance to everyday surface wear.

The black treatment emphasises the geometry of the cushion case while maintaining the relatively refined profile of Epurato.

Clarindon's current range includes models such as Epurato Safari Full Black, providing a particularly contemporary interpretation of Anonimo design.

Anonimo Epurato Safari Watches

The Epurato Safari family combines the urban character of Epurato with more adventurous colour and material treatments.

Clarindon currently offers Safari and Safari Full Black references within its Anonimo selection.

The collection demonstrates how effectively the same 42mm cushion architecture can move between restrained steel watches and more expressive dark-coated designs.

Anonimo Swiss Automatic Movements

All current Anonimo watches use Swiss Made automatic mechanical movements.

The brand identifies independent Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita as its principal movement partner.

The widely respected SW200-1 powers contemporary Nautilo and Epurato watches.

Militare chronographs use a more sophisticated configuration involving the slim SW300-1 combined with a Dubois-Dépraz bi-compax chronograph module developed for Anonimo.

This movement strategy provides reliability and serviceability while allowing Anonimo to concentrate strongly on case engineering, design and specialised modules.

The Sellita SW200-1 in Anonimo Watches

The Sellita SW200-1 is one of the best-established contemporary Swiss automatic movements.

Within Anonimo it powers collections including Nautilo and Epurato.

The movement operates at approximately 28,800 vibrations per hour or 4Hz and current Anonimo specifications quote a minimum power reserve around 38 hours.

A customised Anonimo oscillating weight can be viewed through the case back of selected models.

Anonimo Automatic Chronograph Movements

Automatic chronograph construction is particularly important within the Militare collection.

Anonimo uses the Swiss Sellita SW300-1 as a base together with a Dubois-Dépraz 2035-M bi-compax module.

Dubois-Dépraz has a long history of creating specialist complications and chronograph modules for the Swiss watch industry.

The pairing gives Militare Chrono the functionality expected from a serious automatic chronograph while allowing Anonimo to preserve the highly distinctive architecture of its case and dial.

Anonimo Sapphire Crystal Watches

Sapphire crystal appears throughout the contemporary Anonimo catalogue.

Synthetic sapphire provides significantly greater resistance to scratching than standard mineral glass, making it particularly appropriate for watches intended for demanding everyday or sporting use.

Anti-reflective treatment helps improve readability, especially on professional-inspired watches where clear dial visibility remains important.

Anonimo Super-LumiNova

Strong low-light visibility remains another important functional element.

Anonimo uses Super-LumiNova across hands and markers on current collections.

The luminous material absorbs light and releases it gradually in darkness, improving readability during night-time use or underwater conditions.

This is particularly important on Nautilo but also reinforces the professional character of Militare.

Anonimo Italian Leather Straps

Italian craftsmanship remains visible through the straps used throughout the collection.

Anonimo states that its leather straps are handmade in Italy.

Calf leather, antelope leather, Kudu leather, felt, textile and rubber-style options have appeared across different references.

The straps provide another direct connection between the Swiss Made watch and the Florentine design culture from which Anonimo originated.

Anonimo Quick-Change Straps

Selected Epurato watches use a quick strap-change mechanism, allowing the character of the watch to be altered without relying upon conventional specialist tools.

A leather strap can give the watch a refined appearance, while alternative textures or colours can make the same case feel considerably more casual.

This flexibility is particularly appropriate for Epurato because it was designed as the most urban and versatile member of the Anonimo family.

Anonimo Watches and Water Resistance

Water resistance varies significantly according to the collection because each Anonimo family serves a different purpose.

Current Nautilo 42mm watches are rated to approximately 200 metres, reflecting their genuine diving orientation.

The modern Militare is rated to approximately 120 metres, providing substantial everyday and sporting protection alongside its specialised crown-locking system.

Epurato is more urban and refined, with current references generally rated to approximately 50 metres.

Customers should therefore select according to intended use rather than assuming every Anonimo shares the extreme water resistance of the company's historical professional dive watches.

Anonimo Watches for Diving

For contemporary diving use, the Nautilo is the natural Anonimo collection to consider.

Its unidirectional rotating bezel, luminous display, screw-down crown and 200-metre water resistance provide the practical features expected from a modern mechanical diver.

The ceramic bezel insert on current 42mm models also offers excellent resistance to colour fading and surface wear.

The combination of professional functionality and unconventional Italian case architecture helps Nautilo stand apart from more generic dive-watch designs.

Anonimo Watches for Everyday Wear

Despite Anonimo's professional origins, the contemporary catalogue contains several watches particularly suitable for everyday use.

Epurato is the clearest choice for customers wanting refined styling with mechanical character.

Nautilo Classic combines dive-watch robustness with a relatively versatile 42mm case.

Militare provides a stronger statement for buyers who actively want substantial wrist presence and unconventional engineering.

Anonimo Watches for Men

Anonimo watches for men cover several distinct styles within one recognisable design family.

Militare appeals to customers looking for bold automatic watches and mechanical chronographs. Nautilo is designed around diving and sporting use. Epurato provides a cleaner option for professional and everyday settings.

Case sizes around 42mm to 43.5mm give most current watches substantial but contemporary proportions.

This makes the collection particularly relevant for searches around men's Swiss automatic watches, Italian men's watches, men's dive watches, military watches, automatic chronographs and bronze watches.

Are Anonimo Watches Italian or Swiss?

Anonimo combines both identities.

The company was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1997, and its external design philosophy remains strongly connected with Italian creativity and craftsmanship.

Anonimo has always used Swiss movements, and in 2013 its headquarters moved to Switzerland.

Contemporary Anonimo watches comply with the Swiss Made designation.

The most accurate description is therefore a Swiss Made mechanical watch brand with strong Italian origins and design DNA.

Are Anonimo Watches Swiss Made?

Yes. Contemporary Anonimo watches are Swiss Made.

The company's headquarters moved to Switzerland in 2013, and current watches use Swiss Made automatic mechanical movements.

This technical Swiss foundation is combined with design elements and Italian-made straps that preserve the company's Florentine heritage.

Are Anonimo Watches Automatic?

Yes. Automatic mechanical watchmaking is central to the current Anonimo collection.

The manufacturer states that all contemporary Anonimo watches are equipped with Swiss Made automatic mechanical movements.

Nautilo and Epurato primarily use Sellita SW200-1 movements, while the Militare family includes both automatic three-hand watches and automatic chronographs.

Does Anonimo Make Quartz Watches?

The contemporary Anonimo catalogue is focused on automatic mechanical movements rather than quartz.

This gives the collection a particularly consistent enthusiast-focused identity and separates the brand from companies operating primarily within fashion or accessible quartz watchmaking.

What Size Are Anonimo Watches?

Current Anonimo case sizes generally reflect the strong visual character of the brand while remaining within contemporary sports-watch proportions.

Nautilo currently uses a 42mm cushion-shaped case.

Epurato also measures approximately 42mm with a comparatively slim 11.6mm profile.

Militare is larger at approximately 43.5mm and gains additional visual presence from its crown-locking system at 12 o'clock.

Because cushion cases distribute their width differently from conventional round watches, customers should consider overall shape and lug architecture rather than diameter alone.

Anonimo Watches Compared with Traditional Swiss Brands

Anonimo occupies a distinctive position within modern Swiss watchmaking.

It does not possess centuries of uninterrupted Swiss manufacture history, nor does it attempt to imitate the conservative designs of traditional maisons.

Its strength lies instead in the combination of late twentieth-century Italian design, professional diving experience, unusual case engineering and reliable Swiss automatic movements.

The Militare crown system, cushion cases, bronze heritage and triangular dial signature provide immediate visual differences from conventional Swiss sports watches.

For collectors who already own familiar round automatic divers or chronographs, Anonimo can therefore introduce something substantially different without abandoning proven Swiss mechanical engineering.

Anonimo vs Other Italian-Inspired Watches

Italy has produced some of the watch industry's most recognisable approaches to case design and professional diving instruments.

Anonimo contributes its own identity through Florentine origins, early professional diving development, bronze construction and unconventional crown positioning.

The brand's later Swiss Made status adds another dimension, allowing Italian design to coexist with established Swiss movement technology.

For buyers specifically attracted to large cushion cases and maritime watchmaking, Anonimo provides an enthusiast-focused alternative with a story rooted in professional use rather than fashion licensing.

Why Choose an Anonimo Watch?

Anonimo combines several qualities that make the brand particularly compelling for specialist watch buyers:

• Founded in Florence in 1997
• Strong Italian design heritage
• Swiss Made watch production since the move to Switzerland
• Swiss automatic Sellita movements
• Professional diving origins
• Historic watches tested to extreme underwater depths
• Pioneering use of bronze in modern dive watches
• Distinctive cushion-shaped cases
• Signature triangular 4, 8 and 12 o'clock dial layout
• Iconic Militare crown-locking architecture
• Militare automatic chronographs
• 200-metre Nautilo diving watches
• Refined Epurato automatic watches
• Sapphire crystal
• Super-LumiNova visibility
• Italian handmade leather straps
• Limited editions and motorsport references
• Strong collector individuality

The defining attraction is personality. Anonimo watches are designed to be recognisable through their architecture rather than simply their logo, while dependable Swiss automatic movements provide the mechanical foundation underneath.

Which Anonimo Watch Should You Buy?

The right Anonimo depends upon the experience you want from the brand.

For the most recognisable expression of Anonimo design, choose Militare. The unusual 12 o'clock crown system and substantial cushion case immediately communicate the manufacturer's identity.

For mechanical timing functionality, a Militare Chrono or Chrono Vintage adds a Swiss automatic bi-compax chronograph.

If diving capability matters most, choose Nautilo. Current 42mm models provide 200 metres of water resistance, ceramic bezels and automatic mechanical movements.

For professional or smarter everyday wear, Epurato provides a slimmer and more refined interpretation of Anonimo's cushion case.

Collectors particularly interested in the brand's material history should investigate one of the available bronze references.

Who Should Buy an Anonimo Watch?

Anonimo can be particularly appealing to:

• Swiss automatic watch enthusiasts
• Collectors interested in Italian watch design
• Dive-watch collectors
• Bronze-watch enthusiasts
• Buyers looking for cushion-shaped watches
• Collectors who prefer unusual crown architecture
• Automatic chronograph buyers
• Customers seeking alternatives to mainstream Swiss brands
• Military-inspired watch enthusiasts
• Buyers interested in limited editions
• Collectors who value professional tool-watch heritage
• Customers wanting a distinctive everyday mechanical watch

Anonimo is particularly strong for someone who wants a Swiss automatic watch that does not look like every other Swiss automatic watch. Its Florentine design origins ensure that functionality is expressed through distinctive architecture and bold proportions.
