MY STORY
After graduating in International Management from the University of Modena, I chose to pursue my passion for watchmaking. This journey led me to work with prominent names in the high-end watch trade, where I also served as a “Watch Specialist” for a renowned company specializing in vintage timepieces across London and Milan.
Writing under the pseudonym PYCCY, I have published numerous articles on various online platforms, including Orologi & Passioni, Italy’s leading watchmaking forum, where I hold the role of Archive Contributor. After years of industry experience, I founded my own company. Alongside trading vintage watches, I provide consultancy services, appraisals, and editorial publications.
I am a certified expert registered with the Modena Chamber of Commerce and a member of major international associations in the field.
