The Nereide Lapislazzuli, with its deep blue symbolizing nobility and spirituality, reflects the legacy of the legendary lapis lazuli, a mineral with centuries of history. In the Middle Ages, Venice became the primary port for lapis lazuli from Afghan mines. This precious mineral was used in sacred art to create ultramarine, a blue pigment famed for its intensity. The trade of lapis lazuli solidified Venice’s cultural and economic influence, enriching its artistic heritage and establishing it as a hub of history and mysticism.
Lapis lazuli, known for its deep blue, was used to produce ultramarine, a pigment valued for its beauty and durability. The process was complex: raw lapis lazuli was crushed in a stone mortar and then ground into a fine powder. This powder was mixed with water and binding agents to create a paste, which was then washed to remove impurities and isolate the pure ultramarine pigment. The result was an intense and brilliant blue, used in medieval and Renaissance sacred art.

Tungsten Bezel Insert
Tungsten is the hardest and most resistant metal known to mankind.
It has a melting point of 3400°C, which makes it the most heat resistant metal. Its resistance to wear is equally incredible. Tungsten is, in practice, scratchproof and therefore it maintains its physical and aesthetic features unchanged over the years.
Lapis Lazuli Dial
Lapis lazuli is a vibrant blue gemstone with sparkling pyrite veins and a granular texture. Its shades range from light to dark blue, and inclusions of calcite or other minerals add to its unique beauty, making it prized in jewelry and decoration. In this creation, the stone is meticulously cut into an ultra-thin layer of just 0.4mm—a highly complex process that requires exceptional precision and craftsmanship.
The submarine Nereide, which inspires the entire collection, is depicted submerged in the engraving at the center of the caseback, to remind how this watch doesn't compromise on underwater performance, retaining the ability to dive up to 200m deep and the rotating bezel that allows monitoring of dive times.
