Andrea Foffi is a collector I had always associated more with Rolex, I began following him on Instagram many years ago after seeing his blue sodalite Daytona with sapphire bezels and since then I had been consistently surprised by the depth of his Omega collection as well, especially Speedmasters.

Btw this is the first article we’ve posted but there will be a lot more, including deep dives on specific vintage references, stories behind interesting watches and more reviews and commentary.

Andrea did well, I get the impression he clearly owns a lot of watch books and had a good idea of what he liked and what he didn’t when he planned this one out. The printing and photography quality in particular really stands out in that sense.

In this instance there wouldn’t be much point to it either, Moonwatch Only would be useful as it’s an informative and detailed reference book but this book goes a different direction with the photorealistic large scale printing, getting to see that up close and the detail it reveals on these pieces is the point more than any information it contains, so a digital copy wouldn’t really cut the mustard like the real thing anyway.
