On my way to Tuscany....

This Saturday I will be on my way to Tuscany to meet with Mr. Paci and Mr. Ciampi.

First things first, on my arrival we will go for some excellent Tuscan food and wine....then on Monday morning we will be ready to visit some"New for Us" tanneries to choose some hides for upcoming Mario Paci straps as well as hides for "Officine Firenze by Mario Paci" straps.

The buckles are ready for the new TC Marina straps that will surprise you with the waterproofing process that we will use.

Of course, the Giovanni e Figlio line will continue to grow as we discover new ways to bring back the historic days of Panerai and the Italian Navy. Thank you very much for the comments that we have received about the quality and leather on the GeF straps. I know that Fabrizio Ciampi (The Original CF like in Castelfiorentino) and I are proud of the way the hides have come out and the thick buckles compliment the Historic style.

So, stay tuned as we bring you updates and pictures from Tuscany, the region of Venezia (secret mission), and Milano (something even more interesting).
