Zanetti The Face Of Wabi Sabi www.zannetti.it Rather than striving for sterile perfection, Zanetti’s jade dials are engraved and painted by hand in a way that celebrates the imperfection of the natural material. Dappled with inclusions, two variations of jade host the diamond arms of a compass rose over a background of latitudinal and longitudinal arcs reminiscent of a weathered ocean chart. Inside the simple but substantial 47mm steel case beats a beautifully dressed ETA 2824 Swiss Made automatic movement with a hand engraved rotor and bridges decorated with circular perlage and Geneva wave finishes. Add one or both to your seafaring collection for $7,500 for the all steel and $10,500 for the diamond bezel version. All are available at Grenon’s of Newport as well as several other domestic retailers. 2016 | Wristwatch 83
