The Millemetri - Love Overdue

So this is, I guess, a bit of a "love letter".  As many of you know I used to work on the "other" side of the counter back in San Francisco, and in my brief tenure at Tourneau (the first version) in San Francisco, we did NOT have Panerai.  But we did have Anonimo, and I am proud to say that I sold a few of those to people coming in looking for a Panerai.  What was particularly satisfying in those encounters was when I would ask why a customer wanted a Panerai, and they would say something like "Made by hand in Italy..."
To which I would patiently point out that, in fact, they were NOT made in Italy any longer but Switzerland - but... if the customer was interested, we did have a great new collection that was (at least the cases were) made in Italy, and in fact made by some of the folks who made the Pre-Richemont Panerais.

And top dog was the Anonimo Millemetri.  And I have to say that the Millemetri is a watch that has stood the test of time.  Substantial, masculine and true to itself.  But I also think that this particular Anonimo never got the full credit it was due.  But thankfully, it is still here with us thanks to the team at Anonimo Firenze.  Some things never go out of style - and the Millemetri is one of those things.

Enjoy your watches!
