Hi Guys, I'm a newbie here and frm Singapore. I frequent more on WUS-Anonimo,Sinn,Glycine or Dive Forums. I'm glad to meet SJX in person at Novus. Didn't aware that U r a mod here until Massi posted a link from WUS-Anonimo. Anyway I have to thank to Citimex , Dickson and my good friend - Massi for this lunch affair.
O yes, there have been some feedbacks on Anonimo finishing on their watch cases but why is it not so appealing ? As we know,Italy does produce some of the finest wares,artpieces,cars,marbles etc.in the world but why is it that Anonimo so different from Swiss watches cos Anonimo wants to be different from the rest ??? Swiss watches are precisely produced, from e movement to the case and the rest of the components(Most Swiss watches are mass produced). Federico actually pointed out he is not aftering the movement nor any intentions to produce in-house movement as the Swiss movement rules for many many yrs. Anonimo will produce timepieces with an exclusive experience. In fact his main focus is the CASE. Anonimo produces their own case with each unique finishing(indivdiual taste). Most of us are exposed to Swiss watchfinishing(norm) which considered the Highest Precise Standard that no one cancomplaint much.
Federico pointed out that each Anonimo pc is handcrafted and will be different from each other. No piece will be the same including Drass finishing and someone(do not wish to quote names unless permission granted) from the lunch had actually sees the same view as Federico which I had in mind when I bought mine too. Federico quoted that Making each Anonimo timepiece is an experience like drawing a painting with passion. Example quoted from Federico: Take a picture with your best lens on your camera now and then, try drawing the same picture captured with your best pencil that u can find. It's the Passion in one to produce the artwork and maintaining the standard throughout. Only a dozen of Anonimo staff are working on the timepieces and probably a max. of 3000per yr is produced. He has no intention to raise the output no. yet and will maintain at current.
Personally,I as an Anonimo fan will relate to u all that owning an Anonimo is like buying an Italian Artpiece. I had this experience when I considered my Dino Zei Nemo. It's affordable and definitely exclusive in its collection. No art piece is the same and it's all up to Individual taste. Would u guys like to own a Statue of David ??? Do u guys think that it's the most perfect creation created by michelangelo? If it's handcrafted, there's no perfection. Humans perceive and will try to achieve as close as to PERFECTION. Just my 2cts... ... (",)
Btw, I am not related to Citimex,Dickson,Federico nor Anonimo S.p.A. I'm just a anonymous watch lover from Singapore.
