Venezianico unveils the Arsenale, its latest timepiece, designed to merge traditional craftsmanship with modern design. After two years of development, the Arsenale presents a refined, slim profile and integrated bracelet, offering both comfort and durability.
A Timepiece Inspired by Venice’s Arsenale
Drawing inspiration from the Arsenale di Venezia, the historic Venetian shipyard, the Arsenale watch embodies the spirit of innovation and precision that made Venice a maritime power. Just as the Arsenale shipyard was known for its advanced techniques, the Arsenale watch combines meticulous craftsmanship with contemporary design elements.
At 8.95mm thick, the Arsenale offers a slim profile while maintaining durability and comfort on the wrist. The polished bevels on the bracelet links and satin-finished surfaces contribute to the watch’s modern and refined aesthetic.
A Côtes de Genève Dial with a Contemporary Edge
The Côtes de Genève dial finish, traditionally used in high-end watch movements, is applied to the Arsenale’s dial, creating depth and texture through delicate parallel wave patterns. This technique adds sophistication to the watch’s design, while skeletonized dauphine hands and baton-shaped indices provide clarity and functionality.
Slim Automatic Design: 8.95mm Case
The Arsenale stands out for its 8.95mm thickness, offering a sleek profile while maintaining the practical benefits of an automatic movement. The timepiece is powered by the Miyota 9029 movement, which operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour. With no date function, the dial remains clean and minimal, emphasizing simplicity and precision.
This careful optimization of space ensures that the Arsenale combines elegance with practicality, offering comfort for daily wear while maintaining a refined appearance.
The Evolution of the Canova Concept Bracelet
The Canova Concept bracelet is a key feature of the Arsenale, continuing Venezianico’s tradition of innovative bracelet design. The alternating concave and convex shapes from previous models have been refined to create a flatter, more modern look. Each link is detailed with polished bevels that contrast with satin-finished surfaces, enhancing the overall refinement of the watch.
Practical Features for Everyday Wear
Beyond its visual appeal, the Arsenale is designed for practicality. The 316L stainless steel case ensures strength and resistance to daily wear, while the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating enhances visibility under different lighting conditions. With water resistance of up to 50 meters, the Arsenale is well-equipped for daily activities.
