Zannetti with discobolo reinvented the flying saucer, giving it a meaning typically classical and Roman.
Zannetti which has produced numerous unique time pieces with exceptional craftsmanship.
Since the ‘50s, all the major manufacturers of watches were confronted on a case type for watches that collectors and fans immediately renamed it “flying saucer (circular wing)” or “UFO”. The peculiarity is in the design, perfectly circular, accompanied by the complete absence of the loops. The strap, in fact, engages below the actual case, so as to give the appearance of a flying saucer that is “backed” above the wrist. This construction ensures a great clean look, with visual attention that is focused on the dial, along with the ability to embellish the same case edges with engravings or precious stones.
Zannetti with discobolo reinvented the flying saucer, giving it a meaning typically classical and Roman. The incisions on the inner flange, the ones on the back and even more the dial entirely made by hand in a translucent enamel, make it a very unique piece, the result of the best hand craftsmanship. Simple and sophisticated at the same time, it is a real high applied watchmaking piece, where creativity and craftsmanship contribute to the realization of a unique object of its kind.
Discobolo is a small masterpiece of elegance and complexity. The perfectly round shape with 45 mm diameter, the alternation of the finish, with the outer edge stoned, make it immediately visible on the wrist and absolutely unique. The dial depicts handmade engraved and blue flinqué translucent enameled with Luminescent super- Luminovatm alpha hands. Zennetti can be personalized with blue leather or alligator strap.
For the construction of each piece it requires the intervention of real masters of art, the engraver, the enameller, the miniaturist, the watchmaker. The result is always unique, where each piece is different from all the others. The production will be “naturally” limited, because it will be hardly able to create more than two watches a month, about twenty per year.
