After twenty years as a sports journalist, featuring the coverage of major football and tennis events, I became involved in watchmaking-related communication. I am the author of six historical books about horology: Lancette & C. (an encyclopedia of wristwatches in Italian, 2005), Rolex dalla A alla Z (a monography on the Rolex brand in Italian, 2007), The Museum Collection (100 milestones of 20thCentury watchmaking, in English and Italian, 2016), Watch Ads (a two volume pictorial history of communication and design in 20th Century watchmaking, in English and Italian, 2016 and 2017), Rolex 1905-1960 (timeline, watches, movements, ads, patents, documents from the first half-century of the company, in English and Italian, 2018).

In 2012 I published my first fiction : the novel Wingwatch, partly inspired by a true WWII story and also available in Italian and French.

Après vingts ans de journalisme sportif, pendant lesquelles j'ai suivi les compétitions internationales majeures de football et tennis, je suis passé à la communication en lien avec l'industrie horlogère. Je suis l'auteur de Lancette & C. (une histoire encyclopédique de la montre-bracelet en italien, 2005), Rolex dalla A alla Z (une monographie sur la marque en italien, 2007) The Museum Collection (les 100 jalons de l'horlogerie au 20e siècle, en anglais et italien, 2016) et Watch Ads (deux volumes retraçant l'histoire de la communication et du design dans l'horlogerie di 20e siècle, en anglais et italien, 2016 et 2017), Rolex 1905-1960 (historique, montres, mouvements, publicité, brevets, documents du premier demi-siècle de la marque, en anglais et italien, 2018). En 2012 mon premier ouvrage de fiction est paru : le roman La Montre Ailée, partiellement inspiré d'une épisode vraie de la Seconde guerre mondiale, également disponible en anglais et italien.

Dopo vent'anni nel giornalismo sportivo, con reportage sui maggiori eventi internazionali di calcio e tennis, mi sono occupato di comunicazione legata all'industria orologiera, settore in cui opero tuttora. Ho pubblicato Lancette & C. (storia enciclopedica dell'orologio da polso in italiano, 2005), Rolex dalla A alla Z (monografia sulla marca in italiano , 2007), The Museum Collection (le 100 pietre miliari dell'orologeria del Novecento, in italiano e inglese, 2016), Watch Ads (due volumi sulla storia della comunicazione e del design nell'orologeria del Novecento, in italiano e inglese, 2016 e 2017), Rolex 1905-1960 (cronistoria, orologi, movimenti, pubblicità, brevetti, documenti del primo mezzo secolo della Casa, in italiano e inglese, 2018). Nel 2012 ho pubblicato la mia prima opera narrativa, il romanzo L'Orologio Con Le Ali, parzialmente ispirato a un episodio vero della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, disponbile anche in inglese e in francese. ...more

New Release - Rolex 1905-1960

My latest book focuses on the first half-century of Rolex – the years that shaped the company's identity and paved the way to worldwide success. Each chapter opens with a timeline of the remarkable events that took place in the relevant period. This is followed by the table of the movements introduced in the same years. Then come the watches along with plenty of pictures, texts outlining their his Read more of this blog post »
