D1 Milano: The next big thing in fashion watches is now in Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – D1 Milano’s exciting brand of premium fashion watches is set to make a splash in the Philippines with its launch. Hailing from one the world’s fashion capitals, D1 Milano is an Italian watch manufacturer of premium fashion watches. Headed by a young Italian visionary, the brand is set to grow its reach this side of the world.

Putting a premium on offering clients sophistication and luxury at accessible price points, D1 Milano is able to come out with a great selection of timepieces that appeal to both men and women.

Man with a vision

Headed by CEO Dario Spallone, a 26-year-old entrepreneur, D1 Milano started out as a concept he came up with while he was studying in Bocconi University in Milan. He tested his business idea at the Bocconi University Business Incubator in 2014, where it gained tremendous traction.

In just a year, Dario had his company’s headquarters set up in the Dubai Design District in 2015 to turn what was originally his school project into a thriving global brand.

While the brand is his original concept, Dario likes to share the praise with his team, since D1 Milano would not be what it is today without the collaborative effort.
