Pilot Skull “Silver”
The skull, being elected by all nowadays teenagers as their favourite break-with-tradition expressive element, actually exists in watchmaking since a long time. There is certainly a long-lasting tradition of “memento mori” watches in history: stories are told that even Maria Stuarda, Queen of Scotland, spent her time in Fotheringhway prison (while waiting Elisabeth I to decide to execute her) playing with her own watch sculpted with a “head” shape.
Luckily today its symbolical meaning has changed and to wear an innocent skull on a wrist is merely an exaggerate way to exorcise the future or mostly to break, even only with a design, the mass schemes. This is exactly the reason why Zannetti chose the skull for some of his most exclusive watch collections, characterized by a hand-made production and use of craftsmanship to express his creativity and dexterity at best.
