English version by Naomi Ornstein

Photography is basically the art or process of reproducing the images of objects. However, for Pino Abbrescia and Fabio Santinelli it is not just a matter of capturing and portraying an object. They communicate through photography. Their photographic artworks visually express the concept, the beauty and the true essence of still life.

Paolo Gobbi is a renowned journalist, photographer and globe-trotter from Rome, Italy. He spends the majority of his time traveling all over the world, to tour watch factories and report on the latest watch collections and high-end watch auctions. Currently a writer, contributing photographer and director of specialized magazines, he also works as an independent journalist for distinguished names in the Italian press.

Cesare Maria Mannucci, historic signature of motorsport journalism, authored the genesis of the 24 Hours Daytona; Luciano Buscarini; Editor in Chief of the watch magazine L’Orologio and micromechanics expert Dody Giussani, penned the chapter dedicated to the watch calibres; and lastly, the antiquarian and vintage watch expert Stefano Mazzariol curated Daytona’s chronology.
