Master of style Gianni Agnelli

[rcom440]

this guy is a master of style and also a huge watch collector. Please notice how he was wearing his time pieces,

He was owner (CEO) of Fiat, owner of Juvenus Football Club and also pretty much one of the richest people on earth.

With Juvenus,

He always had his wrist watch over the shirt cuff which I found pretty interesting.

His vintage Patek Worldtimer,

I will try to pull that look. Did you guys ever put your wristwatch over your shirt cuff? It seems like a pretty original way to wear a timepiece!
I think this style should be bring back to life!

Here is him in his badass Mirafiori and I think another Patek,

Here is his husky or Alaskan Malamute,

Check his style, totally badass and wrist watch over shirt cuff is a must!!

His family still own Juventus but I think one of his his nephews is running it now, correct me if I'm wrong.

That's interesting as you say. More a fashion statement than a practical solution. I think that would make me feel a little constrained, wouldn't do it. Besides I like the feel of the watch directly on my wrist. But hey, to each his own

Could be a metal allergy?? My wife has one, wearing it over a shirt would help with that issue.

He once said that his cuffs were tailored and watch would always stuck on it.

i won't go deep into the opinion I have of him but just one thing: either you are Gianni Agnelli or you look like a clown wearing your watch like that.

Forza Juve !

This guy's such a boss, love his style.. though I could never pull that off

I'm sure I've seen a photo of him where his shirt cuff is cut out to wear his watch.
True Italian style.

There we are. Looks good.

I've seen that too and some company came out of nowhere with this look in the back of a men's magazine some years ago and thankful it never caught on.

A true icon. He knew how he wanted it to be, and was boss enough to never doubt his own convictions.

Michael Caine also wore his watch the same way in The Italian Job

It's still done, check out the Sartorialist's blog.

I remember reading how when someone asked him about wearing his watch on the cuff he replied that he's such a busy man he doesn't have time to pull his cuff back to check the time. Always bought quality goods.

People can pull that look with certain suits, tailored shirt and nice dress watch - no prob.
It woudn't work with baggy shirts or suits that doesn't fit.

Looks badass!

Now he's nephew is trying to take a lot of credit of that his uncle and grandfather did - his name is Lapo Elkann.

The thing is he's trying to pull that Marcello Mastroianni look but I don't it works for his - he's also trying to have flamboyant style but unfortunately it looks pretty clownish on him.

He is one of the most well dressed men in history. To me, he is like the real life counterpart to James Bond; such a timeless and classic style. If I could, I'd wear a bit of Caine in my everyday attire

Oh my... Someone just posted my profile pic! Agnelli truly is an icon - the Italian Steve McQueen
