Anonimo
watch
Anonimo Watches SA is a watchmaking company. Its watches are manufactured in Florence, Italy, with Swiss movements provided by ETA SA or Sellita.
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.
When watchmaker Panerai relocated from Florence to Neuchatel, Switzerland, many Panerai watchmakers were taken on by Anonimo.
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.
Models
Current models use self-winding movements by Sellita, an independent Swiss producer founded in 1950.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Anonimo”, the useful work is to connect “watch” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4770013. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2013, 1950 and 2001.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
