Description
Italian racing spirit, cast in forged carbon.
Ardente — "burning" — channels the heat of a red mid-engined machine at full throttle. Its architectural tonneau case is formed from forged carbon composite, where no two marbled patterns are ever the same.
Beneath the crystal, a skeletonised dial reveals the mechanics within, framed by performance-inspired accents. Light on the wrist, impossible to ignore — equally at home at the track day and the dinner table.

Red, light and mid-engined
Picture a red mid-engined machine at full throttle, the heat rising off the engine cover behind the driver's head. Ardente, "burning", was drawn from that moment.
Its case is forged carbon, the material of modern race-car bodywork: light on the wrist and marbled with a grain that will never be repeated on another watch.

Forged carbon case
Pressed from chopped carbon fibre and resin, the material of modern race-car bodywork. Light, strong and marbled with a grain that is never repeated.
Automatic skeleton movement
It winds itself with the motion of your wrist. No battery, and an open dial that lets you watch the mechanism at work.
Built to be worn
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 5 ATM water resistance and a 26 mm strap, made for everyday wear rather than the display case.
The presence of haute horlogerie. Without the five-figure price.
The Ardente carries the spirit of a Mid-engine in a forged carbon case, with an automatic skeleton movement you can watch at work. Every piece is designed to be worn every day, backed for two years and sent to your door at no cost.
