Anonimo Watches SA is a watchmaking company.[1] Its watches are manufactured in Florence, Italy with Swiss movements provided by ETA SA or Sellita.[2]

The company was founded in 1997 in Florence, Italy, by Federico Massacesi and makes only mechanical watches with prices ranging from $2,500 to over $10,000.[3]

When watchmaker Panerai relocated from Florence to Neuchatel, Switzerland, many Panerai watchmakers were taken on by Anonimo.[4]

In 2013, Anonimo Firenze was bought out by a private group of European investors and became Anonimo SA, moving its head office to Switzerland, but still remaining an independent watch brand.[5]

Models[edit]

Current models use self-winding movements by Sellita, an independent Swiss producer founded in 1950.[citation needed]
