Agreed on the website, less can be more!!

Same opinion on the watches from me. Too flashy for my taste, not heard of them though, I'm afraid...

"The power of love for the love of power. Gio Monaco's latest masterpiece is born out of this absurd and contrasting delirium that is common to our times."

On a point of principle, I wouldn't buy a watch from a company that spouted advertising dross as banal as that.

Poseidon, (it went down) Dafne, Prima Donna, Diva, Octopus (with or without diamonds) - with watch names like these they don't deserve to succeed. And if you look at the Galileo chrono - puh-lees! I agree too about the site; it's as pretentious as the watches.

Yuck. Website sucks, marketing is cringe worthy. Looks like they are trying far too hard. Very pretentious. No heritage either. For me, a timepiece needs a story, a reason fir it being what it is... not just an expensive watch.

Pretentious tat aimed at people who are wealthy, but clueless about good taste.
