Roberto Verde (born February 23, 1983, in Petralia Sottana, Palermo) is an Italian master watchmaker, entrepreneur, and founder of Goldfingers Orologi, a prestigious luxury watch showroom based in Verona, Italy. With over 15 years of experience in the horology industry, Verde is widely recognized for his innovative approach, particularly in making luxury watches more accessible through initiatives like "Dimmi il tuo budget" on Instagram.

Early Life and Education

Roberto Verde was born on February 23, 1983, in Petralia Sottana, Palermo in the Sicily region, Italy, in 1983. His early fascination with Swiss watchmaking and luxury timepieces inspired him to study horology extensively. By 2011, Verde decided to fully dedicate his career to the world of fine watchmaking.[1]

Career

Goldfingers Orologi

In 2011, Verde established Goldfingers Orologi in Verona, inspired by the elegance and intrigue of the James Bond series. The showroom serves as a hub for collectors and enthusiasts, offering a curated selection of entry-level, mid-range, and rare vintage timepieces.[2]

Verde envisions the showroom as more than a retail space—it’s a destination where clients can explore and celebrate horology in a personalized, welcoming environment.[3]

The initiative garnered immense popularity, resulting in over 30,000 new followers on Instagram by mid-2023.[4]

He also introduced "La Valigetta degli Entry Level" ("The Entry-Level Briefcase"), showcasing watches priced between €4,000 and €8,000, catering to young collectors entering the luxury watch market.[5]

Watch Passion Association

Verde founded Watch Passion, a trade association aimed at fostering a community of horology enthusiasts while educating the public on the cultural and historical significance of watches.[6]

Philosophy and Vision

Verde advocates for appreciating watches as artistic and historical objects rather than solely financial investments. He promotes the "new vintage" concept, particularly five-digit Rolex references, which he describes as historically significant and a growing focus for collectors.[7]

He has emphasized the importance of adapting the luxury watch industry to resonate with younger generations by creating authentic brand narratives that align with modern values.[8]
