Veloci presents the new Icon Damascus, an unrealised and original version of
the Icon line. The Italian soul of the brand is the fuel that feeds the strong
creativity of the Maison.
Icon
Damascus is exceptionally made of steel, the timepiece explores a steel
technique used for more than a thousand years. The allure of history turns into
a very topical aesthetic and design concept. The steel is stretched and folded
down on itself many times in order to be forged. This process creates a unique pattern
that becomes the proud protagonist of the timepiece’s case. The decorative
motif of the Damascus steel originates from the union of different types of
metal; this aspect corresponds to an exceptional resistance and stability
quality over time.
The
metal of the 49 millimetre case and of the bezel shows a texture characterized
by irregular “waves” that create shiny and opaque effects. In this unreleased
background stand out the distinctive four black dials, each one indicating
minutes and hours, while the date and the red seconds hand are located on the
bottom right dial and top right dial. The functions of every single dial are
regulated via their corresponding crowns.
The
metal effect is interrupted on the case middle by a black a-DLC titanium band that
besides adding more audacity to the timepiece, emulates and celebrates the
next-gen pistons with black Teflon anti-seize insert. Icon Damascus is driven
by the calibre MV 8802 developed in-house, which is visible through the open
case back.
