Description

Côtes de Genève Dial

The Côtes de Genève finish, used in high-end movements, is achieved through a meticulous process that involves applying delicate parallel waves using rotating brushes. This same principle has been applied to the Arsenale dial, characterized by wavy lines that give it depth and brilliance. This technique, traditionally associated with classic watchmaking, blends harmoniously with modern details such as the skeletonized dauphine hands and the small baton-shaped indices.

Just 8.95mm thick

With a thickness of less than 9 millimeters, we’ve created an remarkably slim automatic watch. This achievement is the result of careful design aimed at optimizing every millimeter of internal space. The Miyota 9029 caliber, a 28,800 vibrations per hour movement with no date and only two hands, has proven perfect for combining elegance and functionality.

The Evolution of the Canova Bracelet

One of our most iconic design elements evolves with Arsenale, thanks to the new Canova Concept™ bracelet. While maintaining the characteristic alternation of concave and convex shapes from the original design, the bracelet has been redesigned with flatter, more modern shapes. Each link is enhanced by two polished bevels, creating an elegant contrast with the satin-finished surfaces. These refinements, the result of various manual techniques, give the bracelet a contemporary and sophisticated appearance.

The Oldest Shipyard of the Future

Through its extraordinary proto-industrial organization, the Arsenale of Venice anticipated the Industrial Revolution by centuries, introducing assembly line processes and the use of advanced machinery. It was here that Venice’s famous galleys were constructed, capable of being assembled in extremely short times. Metalworking was a crucial element, with innovative techniques for forging cannons, anchors, and military equipment. This monumental complex became the center of Venice’s maritime power, proving that even an ancient building could be at the forefront of technology and shape the future of industry.

A Bridge Between Past and Future

The caseback of our watch celebrates one of the most iconic symbols of the Arsenale of Venice: the towers. Carefully depicted, these towers are not just a visual tribute to the past but also represent the deep connection between tradition and the drive for innovation that defines our work. Just as the Arsenale blended the cutting-edge technology of its time with a solid artisanal tradition, our timepiece combines elements of classic watchmaking with modern design, creating a unique piece that looks to the future while maintaining a strong connection to its origins.
