Independents

A little more about Anonimo

 

I have met and talked with the owner the last two years at the JCK show. There aren't many small independents there, so I was intrigued to see this small new brand in 2000. The owner is passionate about watches - has his own stylistic vision - and makes some watches which are pretty unconventional. The Yacht Timer is one of them. Their movements are all nicely finished ETA's and he has worked with DD, and another company ( SOPROD perhaps ) to come up with some unique 'complications' and power reserve placements. The dials and cases are first rate. They recently bought a case manufacturer in Italy. I don't know if you noticed, but the WR rating on the first watch I posted is 100 ATM. Here are some of their other models.
