“I first started playing football when I was a child with my friends and then in the Brescia junior team. I ended up playing in my first professional squad when I was 16. My greatest achievement is without a doubt winning the World Cup with the Italian national team. I started collecting watches very early on, and through time and different timepieces, I’ve learned to value and recognise the know-how and craftsmanship that stand behind a watch. I really care about the finer details and I’ve found the same passion in the work of Artisans de Genève. What I like most about my skeletonised Rolex Submariner is that it’s unparalleled and resonates with me and my career. It’s a work of art.”
