Last week, I wrote an article on why I thought mechanical watches under €1,000 don’t make sense. In a way, it was an article like many other articles I’ve published here on Fratello. I had a thought, we discussed it during our editorial meeting, and we decided that I’d do an article on it. What…

I just saw Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny (the fifth film in the Indiana Jones movie franchise), and I have to admit that more than one watch lover was involved in the production of this film.
