The creation of the bezel stems from an extensive development process aimed at defining proportions, visual continuity, and the integration of baguette-cut moissanites within the metal structure. Every detail was carefully studied to maintain geometric balance, uniformity, and aesthetic coherence across the entire surface.
The study of the setting and the construction of the bezel required several stages of research, prototyping, and refinement, combining technicalprecision with artisanal sensitivity. An approach designed to enhance the refraction of light as an integral part of the watch’s design.

The Art of Gem Setting

Gem setting represents one of the most delicate aspects of jewelry craftsmanship: a balance of technical precision, proportion, and control of light. Each stone is individually set within the metal structure to ensure stability, alignment, and visual continuity. In the case of Arsenale Moissanite, the baguette cut introduces a rigorous geometric rhythm that interacts with the watch’s satin-finished surfaces, transforming the bezel and hour markers into a luminous composition seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the timepiece.

Baguette-Cut Moissanite

Moissanite is a gemstone renowned for its exceptional brilliance and ability to refract light. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the most durable gems used in jewelry, second only to diamond. For Arsenale Moissanite, we selected lab-grown baguette-cut stones, an essential and contemporary shape distinguished by clean lines and elongated surfaces. Unlike more traditional cuts, the baguette creates reflections that are more controlled and architectural, perfectly aligned with the technical and geometric language of the Arsenale collection.
