Hi, Folks
Alessandro is one of the original Panerai designers in the 80's.
He is now part of Ennebi, a new watch company, just launched the "Fondale" model; which is very similar to the Panerai prototype watch.
The model in the pictures is the "Fondale". It looks very similar to his Panerai Design from the 80's. I was lucky to pick one up while I was in CA/USA few weeks ago. Wonderful watch with vintage Panerai history.....
Some of you might have seen this watch before, the one in the picture is the later version with 24mm lug size.
If you like Panerai you will love this watch.
Jimmy

Honestly, at the sight of this watch, the first thing that came to my mind is not a
vintage Panerai but a big PORSCHE DESIGN. You may follow PANERAI's style but
lose your own. I appreciate those which have their own styles, even they are not
well-known. A copycat will never catch my eye.
By the way, what's the caliber of this watch? Is it from ETA series?
Anyway, thanks for sharing!!

my best guess, this one uses an ETA movement within
This design looks cool, but I wonder how it looks on someone wrist...

For those who are interested, here is the link www.ennebiwatch.com
Personally I don't consider this a copycat watch. It is still the same designer just under a different watch brand. Panerai only made 2 prototype based on his design, one was in PVD. Anyhow it is a well made watch and worth looking into.
Just too bad the bridge was not put in with the Fondale due to trademarked issues otherwise it would be a perfect watch to include in anyones' panny collection.
