My dear fashionistas, welcome to another Fall fashion story from faraway Ecuador on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. Today we will continue the story of an exclusive Swiss watch brand that I noticed in a previous post that you fell in love with at first sight – Appella! Usually when people think about precision work and watch excellence, they often have a specific vision of a Swiss watch brand in their mind. The centuries-old tradition of Helvetic watchmaking has made “Made in Swiss” synonymous with the highest quality. Born from this tradition, the Appella brand embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and is proud to bear the mark of Swiss production.
The roots of the Appella brand go back to the first half of the 20th century, when the Swiss watchmaker Paul Glocker took his first steps in running the Ebossa group. He was not only a skilled craftsman, but also a successful businessman, when he founded the Appella watch brand in 1943.
Mr. Glocker, the founder of Appella, derived his success from the production of Roskopf watch movements at his Ebossa factory, which at the time were considered the pinnacle of Swiss craftsmanship. Inspired by a revolutionary mechanical design and manufacturing process, Mr. Glocker ensured that Appella’s vision contained the same qualities of excellence. The Appella brand continues to draw from its rich history. The legacy of the extraordinary watchmakers who created the brand lives on through tradition as they continue to inspire the makers and designers of Appella watches today.
The new owner of the Appella brand, ADRIATICA PR & A Watch Sagl is a company with a rich background and a long tradition in the world of watchmaking. Under the supervision of ADRIATICA PR & A Vatch Sagl, customers of the Appella brand worldwide will receive the best experience worthy of the SWISS MADE guarantee. If one were to ask what comes to mind when you think of Swiss watches, many would associate them with reliability, high quality, elegance and traditional style. The Adriatica brand embodies these qualities and is universally appreciated for them. The same level of reliability and elegance is represented by the Appella watch brand.
For a long time, these two brands were separate, but coexisted in the same space. Buyers looking for Swiss watches with a true Helvetian spirit would often choose between the Adriatica and Appella watch brands. Creativity can often be driven by competition, but it is the spirit of collaboration that can create the best results. This vision inspired Adriatic’s owners who saw the potential that the Appella brand could bring. With their customers at heart, Adriatica and Appella have joined forces to make the ADRIATICA PR & A Watch Sagl offer complete, unique and 100% made in Switzerland.
Today, the Appella watch brand is being reborn. The watches of this brand can once again win the hearts of customers as Appella joins the family of esteemed watches under the leadership of the ADRIATICA PR & A Watch Sagl Group, whose watches are appreciated and sought after all over the world. Appella has a clear path to establish a relationship with customers based on trust. It is built on a long history, Swiss quality and outstanding presentation. Appella watches can be recognized by the unison of traditional style and diamond finish. The brand conducted research that found that women love Appella watches for their unique embellishments and the refined jewelry aesthetic they possess in themselves, while men admire their classic design and Swiss functionality. The conclusion after the research was that both genders are impressed by the high quality of Appella watches.
The diamond finish is the core of Appella brand. Diamonds are the metaphorical signature on the watch that confirms that the watch is on the wrist of an Appella person. Those jewels enhance the unique style and make it even grander, grander, simply perfect. Today, the Appella brand combines classic Swiss quality and modern design. Appella watches guarantee precision work for many years and a sophisticated look that will not go unnoticed.
The sapphire glass that protects the dial of each part ensures the longevity of Appella products. The exceptional scratch resistance and flawless transparency of the glass reveal the exceptional beauty of the watch. This charming look can be enhanced in a women’s collection, when the highest quality diamonds are embedded in the dial or case of the watch. Reaching for its rich history, and preserving the elegance of the design and the finesse of the pieces, Appella is a product that can raise and enhance the image of customers around the world.
The watch you can see on my wrist today is the latest Appella watch model from their special collection of mechanical watches. The diameter of the case is 41 mm and the case itself is very thin and elegant. The case is made of stainless steel in the color of yellow gold. The dial has a classic design that is decorated with a skeleton, a moment that makes this watch special.

We end today’s fashion adventure with old well-known friends of the Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognises for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories as well as in many other fashion stories on the Mr.M blog over the past years.
What is the story of this brand? In the middle of the 20th century, more precisely in 1945, Mr. Renzo Rossetti started his story from scratch, where he worked alone to cut leather for several types of sports shoes. His shoes were sold at the famous Brigatti store in Milan, one of the few remaining stores of its kind in the city. After a few years, Fratelli Rossetti saw success, but, wanting to develop further, they transferred the brands and equipment for this special production to Atala Sport in Padua.
So they decided to start their story again from the beginning and decided to switch to the production of classic shoes. Those were the years between 1952 and 1957, which witnessed the orientation and acquisition of new skills in the creation of women’s ballet flats and elegant, simple men’s footwear characterized by extremely flexible and high-quality workmanship. All this led to the creation of a small collection of men’s shoes with contours that differed from the various styles sold at the time. Renzo Rossetti consequently engaged in work that demonstrated his aesthetic sense and artistic perfectionism.
The story of the Fratelli Rossetti company is an inspiring story of a successful Italian family business that opened its doors in 1953. This is not just an ordinary company story, but a family story: the founder, Renzo Rossetti, and his wife, Lisetta, were dedicated to their work all their lives. The Fratelli Rossetti company is currently run by the second generation of the Rossetti family, the brothers Diego, Dario and Luca, who, due to their different roles and by developing their own different skills, have successfully brought their company to its 60th anniversary, always in search of quality and united by their passion with strict respect for tradition.
Fratelli Rossetti has a long tradition of “big little innovations”. In this company, tradition and quality have always gone hand in hand with insatiable curiosity and commitment to innovation. From the introduction of tassels and the invention of shoes designed to be worn without socks, to stylistic innovations and the launch of the “masculine” style, to the application of colors in unique chromatic shades. It was Renzo Rossetti who emphasized the importance of embracing new materials, styles and shapes: as early as the 60s, he was already experimenting with different color combinations on leather. Today, the company continues its research and development activities thanks to the knowledge of its craftsmen and the creative spirit of the styling department.
Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta.
In previous stories you had the opportunity to enjoy the Brera models, but this season I decided to show you the other side of the Fratelli Rossetti brand – the new face of sporty elegance.
In today’s fashion story, I want to present to you the dynamic and metropolitan look of Fratelli Rossetti sneakers from the latest Fall-Winter 2024 collection, which are made of soft leather combined with suede. Of course, there is also an insole that can be removed and ventilated. The cupsole features the brand’s logo on the side and is made of flexible, lightweight rubber with a custom tread that lets you feel like you’re walking on clouds.
This model of sneakers exists in several variations, mine are beige – drab (on the website, the color is described as dove gray, but the color is more beige – drab in live), while two shades of brown are offered: marrone scuro and dark brown. Of course, there are also sneakers in the indispensable classic black color. In addition to this sneaker model, the Fratelli Rossetti brand offers several other sneaker models, so I am convinced that if you are looking for quality and well-designed sneakers, you can find them in the Fratelli Rossetti collection this season.

This post is sponsored by Sannino Napoli, Loro Piana, Appella and Fratelli Rossetti brands. This post is my personal and honest review of their products.
Dear Marko, I really like your outfit, especially because it is in shades of beige and drab. These colors really suit you and it’s nice to see a man in such bright colors in autumn.
The jacket and the watch are fantastic! I love this model of classic watches with a skeleton moment and with that watch case that is gold in color.
I have to admit that because of you, the Sannino Napoli brand started to be on my fashion radar. I’ve never really heard of this Italian brand, but it looks very high quality and I like the jackets in their online shop. I’m interested in how it is possible that your brown leather jacket from the previous post is not available in their online store, and this coat is not available either? Are they pieces from some special limited collection or?
Dear Finley, thank you for your time! Sannino Napoli is truly an Italian brand that is worth paying attention to, especially since I have the opportunity to see for myself the exceptional quality and design of their outerwear pieces. As for your question, I really didn’t think about it because all the pieces I chose were available in the Lookbook for the FW24/25 collection. It would be best to contact the Sannino Napoli team and ask them for additional information.
Best,
Marko
Dear Marko, your sense of fashion is unmistakable, especially that you always choose the right statement pieces. I thought that all the clothes were from the Loro Piano collection, it’s because you as a person and your appearance radiate so much that every piece seems expensive. Sannino Napoli uses Loro Piano materials and I like their aesthetic.
When someone with charisma and positive energy like you wears a plastic bag it looks like a trendsetter piece. Your blog is specific because all these years you have been presenting to people some of your timeless and iconic values and you are not giving up on that. You also always try to introduce some new unusual brands that are really worth paying attention to and that should be really appreciated.
