- The Italian entrepreneur Sandro Fratini owns more than 2,000 highly desirable watches, and with the launch of his book My Time, he reveals the true extent of his passion for horology.
‘My story is a love story of watches,’ says the convivial Italian collector Sandro Fratini, as he relaxes in a chair at L’Orologio, his hotel in Florence. ‘I love the harmony they have inside; they have a soul.’
Fratini’s passion began as an eight-year-old when he was given a steel-plated Longines for his first Holy Communion. ‘It was nothing special, a very simple watch, but I loved the movement of it,’ he recalls.

What a collector. Beautifully documented
Beautiful. Someone should do a documentary on his story...even a movie.
Very good idea. Happy New 2019th Year!
A handsome chap with a worthy hobby and a beautiful soul.
Times and geographies encompassing horology.
beautiful story
Such passion. ❤️
Lovely
I think that R. Ann Rousseau's idea of a documentary about this gentleman is excellent. I hope it happens.
1518 stainless steel he owns was sold in Budapest in 1944 exactly on the same day as the one that was sold in Philips auction in 2018. Which is very strange. Why would 2 rarest watches be sold on the same day to Patek dealer in Budapest? Something is off. In one of them one is real and the other is a creation.... But I could be wrong.
What was the name of the rolex?
It’s a 4113 split second chronograph.
