What D1 Milano is known for
Milanese watch brand founded in 2013 by then-19-year-old Bocconi University student Dario Spallone during Milan Fashion Week, known for affordable, design-driven watches with integrated bracelets; now headquartered in Milan, Dubai and Hong Kong.
D1 Milano was founded in Milan in 2013 by Dario Spallone, who was 19 and a Bocconi University student, with help from his sister and close friends. The brand launched during Milan Fashion Week. Spallone's aim was an accessible watch brand built around contemporary design: crisp case angles, integrated bracelets and bold color combinations. The company grew from a small operation into a business with offices in Milan, Dubai and Hong Kong, and in 2015 Forbes named Spallone among Italy's most promising young fashion entrepreneurs.
