Venezianico Arsenale Calendar - 6221580C

A new architecture takes shape with the introduction of the automatic calendar, a complication that allows for immediate reading of the day, date, and month. The dial is built on multiple levels: symmetrical subdials, a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock, and at 6 o'clock, the 24-hour indication is reinterpreted through a day-night disk defined by a sapphire crescent secured by two screws. This unconventional constructive solution introduces depth and order, while maintaining immediate readability.

24-hour Architecture

Within the dial, the day-night indication at 6 o'clock introduces a different reading compared to traditional calendars. Instead of the classic 24-hour hand, the function is reinterpreted as a mechanical construction. A dedicated disc represents the alternation between light and darkness, while the sapphire crystal crescent secured with two screws defines its transition. A design solution that integrates the function into the dial structure, maintaining a clear and intuitive reading.

Construction Philosophy

At the heart of the project is a precise approach, inspired by the logic of the Venetian Arsenal: modularity, sequence, control. The automatic calendar defines the arrangement of information, while the day-night disc at 6 o'clock introduces a cyclical reading of time. At 12 o'clock, the power reserve indicator represents a distinctive and unconventional element, integrated into the dial structure. The sapphire crystal crescent, secured with screws, makes the function visible and defines its operation, contributing to a solid and resistant structure.
