Meccaniche 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. 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 millimeter 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 caseback.

The strap, directly attached to the case via a system that does not require lugs, is in black leather with red stitching and a black a-DLC steel folding clasp.

Meccaniche Veloci presents a unique timepiece from the QuattroValvole collection, in partnership with Nardi, the prestigious Italian firm that makes traditionally-crafted steering wheels. The result is QuattroValvole Nardi Edition, a limited-edition collection of 50 timepieces.

The watchmaking brand has enriched its beautiful creations with a new story of Italian excellence in celebration of a highly traditional company, Nardi: a legendary brand that has worked with the greatest names in the automobile industry for over ninety years.

The new Meccaniche Veloci Limited Edition continues the tradition of a partnership that has in the past allowed the brand to tell stories of fascinating engines and explore a wide range of materials in an expression of creative freedom applied to high watchmaking.

With shared conceptual and stylistic intentions, the new timepieces represent the passion that the two brands share for the world of beautiful vehicles, as well as attention to detail. Drawing on their Italian roots, Meccaniche Veloci – Genève and Nardi Personal have a joint philosophy that sets them apart from their contemporaries: producing high-quality creations through the use of select materials, specific production processes and unique style and design.

The characteristic case of Meccaniche Veloci watches, inspired by the design of a piston, is made from titanium and decorated on the edge of the case middle with a narrow, hard wooden insert with beautiful veining and extraordinary resistance. Meccaniche Veloci celebrates wood, the star material of Nardi creations.

The watch dial presents an opaque surface with a delicate guilloché weave. As well as the high quality typical of traditional watchmaking, this finish also renders the dial more precious and clearly recalls the harmonious design of Nardi’s most exclusive pedigree steering wheels that are still hand-crafted to this day.

Four small dials edged in blue in tribute to Nardi’s colours stand out against the QuattroValvole’s dial. The two brands’ logos appear at the centre. All the hours and minutes hands are coated with SuperLuminova® and the seconds function is fulfilled by the small red hand at the bottom right of the dial, while the date may be read through a circular aperture within the dial above.

Featuring a 49 mm case with anti-reflective sapphire crystal, it is driven by the calibre MV8802 developed in-house by Meccaniche Veloci which allows two different time zones to be displayed simultaneously and independently, an expression of both the fleeting nature of time and space and their precise mastery. On the case, four crowns positioned adjacent to the four dials allow each individual time zone to be adjusted.

The strap of the QuattroValvole Nardi Edition model, directly attached to the case via a system that does not require lugs, is in black leather with green stitching and a steel MV folding clasp.

Meccaniche Veloci, the Italian-Swiss watchmaker based in Geneva, presents its latest watch, the new MoneyMaker. This new timepiece will be officially unveiled at the next Basel World Watch and Jewellery Show, Baselworld 2016.

The MoneyMaker is part of the Quattro Valvole – Four Strokes collection, showing four different time zones simultaneously, and will be the first watch launched by the Geneva watchmakers with the new MV8801 in-house movement.

The dial of the MoneyMaker is characterised by a traditional guilloché needle-etched design with radial elements applied by hand representing a vault door, and the symbols of major world currencies make it quick and easy to identify the four different time zones. The new logo characterizing the production ‘Made in Geneva’ also appears for the first time on this model.

Meccaniche Veloci announces changes in management and the introduction of a new collection, Corsacorta Evo.

MV will be presenting the Corsacorta Evo solo tempo at Baselworld 2015. This new watch features a rugged core combined with a sleek look, all very much in the spirit of the brand. The name of the new model is inspired from a particular type of engine in which the stroke of the piston is shorter in relation to the bore of the cylinder, which allows for greater power development at high rpm: one particularity of these engines is that they boast very athletic performance with meticulous attention to detail, something that speed fans will surely know to appreciate.

What distinguishes this watch stylistically from the emblematic Quattro Valvole and Due Valvole is the special shape of the bracelet, whose buckles are in a contrasting colour to the case. As for the case itself, it is thinner, but still inspired by a piston ring. The idea was to reconceive a textile bracelet with delicate, contrasting stitching.

Meccaniche Veloci is prepared to meet the many challenges of 2015 with the mettle that has always characterized the brand. Cesare Cerrito, of Italian origin, is the new president of the company, which is now based in Geneva. This connoisseur of fine watches and engines spent over twenty years working in finance in London, Milan and Geneva.

The takeover of Meccaniche Veloci also involved nomination of a new CEO, one who has a lot of experience in the world of fine watchmaking: Riccardo Monfardino, former commercial director at Franck Muller, where he worked for fifteen years. He will be in charge of the complete strategy for the global distribution of MV.

GASKET collection
In the world of speed, every millimetre must be cared for and there are no components of secondary importance. Even a rubber part, such as a gasket, is made and checked by attentive eyes. In this new collection, Meccaniche Veloci takes inspiration from the gasket of the engines and uses its creativity to make it the central feature of the new design of Quattro Valvole watches. The dial, covered with carbon fibre, plays with the curved shape of a gasket surrounding the subdials of the watch.

Model: Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes Gasket
Dial in carbon fiber. Red detail inspired by the gaskets of the engines
Case made of natural or black IPB titanium
Four independent ETA 2671 mechanical automatic movements
Only 250 specimens for each model

TYRE collection
This year the TYRE collection, launched at Baselworld 2013, has been given a streak of bright yellow, red and green. These are colours that Meccaniche Veloci often combines with bold designs and innovative materials, as it plays with the vibrant colour palettes of the sporting world. The dials, covered with Medium tyres from Formula 1, are now available with details in YELLOW, RED or GREEN in the Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes and Due Valvole models.

The Three Hands version of the NAKED collection
Presented at Baselworld 2013, the Naked collection didn’t go unnoticed by lovers of motorcycles who appreciated the allusion in the basic Quattro Valvole design to the almost bare framed motorbikes that were popular in the 1990s. Following the collection’s success, this year Meccaniche Veloci has decided to launch the skeleton dial with partially or completely visible movements in the Quattro Valvole Three Hand version. One again, a strictly limited edition.

The Icon Collection from Meccaniche Veloci celebrates a return of the past. The Quattro Valvolve 48 Four Strokes with four independent sapphire crystals was the model that made the name of Meccaniche Veloci in the exclusive watch sector. Years later, with requests from watch lovers, VIPs and sports personalities who became fans of this model, the Quattro Valvole is back.

Of course, history never repeats itself in exactly the same way and Meccaniche Veloci, a brand that prides itself on its investment in innovation and research, couldn’t launch a pure copy of the old version.

The Quattro Valvole Icon, with its distinctive design of the upper part of the case left free of glass and the four dials protected by separate crystals, has been crafted in high performance modern materials capitalizing on the brand’s knowhow developed over recent years. Titanium of the upper surface of the case has been crafted with unconventional finishing or is covered with ceramic or carbon fibre. The four dials are made of either carbon fibre or colour combinations that are a reminiscent of the very first models of the Quattro Valvole watches.

The Icon version of Quattro Valvole is a completely Swiss Made watch, not only the four independent movements housed in the four dials. Naturally, the watch is finished with the distinctive wrist-strap fixed directly onto the case.

Without neglecting its fundamentally bold character, the shiny gold crown, bezel and buttons of the new Quattro Valvole show how two very different yet complementary worlds can be united.

The perfect synergy between high quality watchmaking and precious metals gives the timepieces of the new Luxury Gold collection a heart of advanced mechanics encompassed in a body that is even more elegant and aesthetically appealing than what watch fans have come to expect of Meccaniche Veloci.

In association with Suomy, the Italian leader in super sport motorcycle helmets, luxury watch maker Meccaniche Veloci launches a new collection of limited edition watches with dials featuring the most famous Suomy helmets graphics. This exclusive project gives the new range of watches the boldness of the helmets graphics.

These timepieces take inspiration from Suomy’s four bestselling and representative designs including illustrations of pin-up girls, skulls, flags, dice and playing cards. The Helmet collection is produced in limited edition with each of the designs made in three different versions with only 250 copies available of each.

This design is inspired by American motorbike icons, driven by the passion for speed and challenges on the road.

Meccaniche Veloci, the Italian luxury watch company, which is now famous worldwide for its celebrated Quattro Valvole, revolutionises its collection range by introducing a new version that is completely different from the famous piston with four dials. The Corsa Corta, a hand winding three hands, that partially reveals the movement enclosed inside the case inspired by the naked motorcycle. The fulcrum of the Corsa Corta collection is the single dial which comes in several colours and the feature of an opening next to the winding shaft to reveal the watch mechanism in pure naked style.

A ETA 6497 (UNITAS) hand winding movement is assembled inside equipped with a screw crown to guarantee waterproofing up to 10 atmospheres The watch is available in several versions: one with a titanium case, also available in titanium with brown finishing, and one with a steel case with black finishing.

In order to create this watch, Meccaniche Veloci has combined aggressive materials and an innate passion for motorcycles. In fact, the name Corsa Corta is inspired by a type of engine where the diameter of the piston is larger than the stroke, a main feature of high performances engines. The distinctive Meccaniche Veloci shapes have successfully interpreted a new piece of the world of high performance motors, in a unique object in the world of watches.

A source of inspiration of the first model in the RACE line (Only One Collection) is the most important competition for young, talented motorcyclists – the Moto GP 250 cc championship.

The seal linking them to the world of speed and racing, Meccaniche Veloci searches for, chooses and adapts the components of these cars, transforming coka and cool panels into aggressive, punchy unique watches.

Italian luxury watch brand Meccaniche Veloci enhances its Quattro Valvole line with a new design, the Quattro Valvole 48 Quattro Tempi, a high calibre watch dedicated for the motor enthusiasts. This new addition maintains the core aesthetic values that have always distinguished this model. The innovative use of materials and the evolution in design is illustrated in this bold and striking timepiece. In this latest watch Meccaniche Veloci has combined its distinctive design, motorsports technology and Swiss watch making expertise to create a dynamic addition to its sophisticated collection.
Originally launched in 2006, the Quattro Valvole was an instant success; this was owed to its stylistic creativity and the use of materials inspired by the world of motor sports. This success continued in 2009, when Meccaniche Veloci embarked upon a new innovation in materials through an association with Brembo, a global leader in the production of braking systems. Together they developed the use and processing of carbon ceramics and the result was a revolutionary watch: the Quattro Valvole CCM.

Following this success, the brand focused on watch manufacturing technology and quality. This emphasis placed upon research and development has continued and this new collection sees attention being given to movements and the true functionality of the watches, all distinguished by the Swiss Made hallmark.

The Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes introduces a revolutionary new development: a single dial housing four movements. Unlike the original Quattro Valvole, which features four individual dials with four independent movements, the new 48 Four Strolkes has a single dial, which accommodates four grooves for the separate movements, all protected by a single, slightly convex sapphire crystal glass. This change was dictated not only by the aesthetic aspect it produces, but also and above all else by the attention that Meccaniche Veloci dedicates to the quality of its timepieces.
The 48 Four Strokes features a 48mm titanium case, equipped with four titanium crowns, covered with a rubber lining. Its case houses four independent ETA 2671 calibre mechanical movements with automatic windings, protected by a titanium bottom plate, sealed with four screws. The dial is home to four independent movements placed inside four grooves, which are reminiscent of the valves of a four-stroke engine. The quality rubber and leather and classical titanium fold-over or deployante closure are attached directly to the case in an entirely original way.

Three years after its first launch, confident in the success it inspired, Meccaniche Veloci is back to present the Due Valvove collection with a new look, completely renewed and original. The new Due Valvole emerges with a revolutionary spirit, maintaining strong ties with the world of motoring, the DNA of the watch brand. The watch houses two sole movements, rather than the four as seen in the Quattro Valvole collection.

Each with a different diameter, the two subdials that house the movements are a reminder of the two intake and exhaust valves of engines with two valves per cylinder, as the name of the collection suggests. With its 44 mm diameter, the new Due Valvole becomes slightly smaller – but decidedly easier to handle – compared to the previous version which was 48 mm wide. This watch has a unique dial, protected by a slightly convex anti-reflection sapphire crystal.

With a 44 mm wide titanium case, it is also available with a black IPB treatment. Its inside mechanism houses two independent ETA 2671 movements for the reading of two different time zones. Always identified by their care for design, technological research and the art of Swiss made watch making, Meccaniche Veloci presents a combination of determination and innovation: once again, for all those who are passionate about motoring and high watch making, this watch is an original model, outside the boundaries of normality. Due Valvove is available in Classic, Luxury and Limited editions.

Italian luxury watch brand MECCANICHE VELOCI, renowned for its motor sports inspired timepieces, now enhances its most popular Quattro Valvole line with Quattro Valvole Luxury, a high jewellery timepiece, which is an example for a perfect synergy of high-end watchmaking and precious jewellery craft.

With its blending of materials and Swiss-made movements, this cuttingedge collection puts in the forefront a sparkling version of its models.

Inside their all-titanium cases, the Luxury models enclose a precious dial that reveals a new facet of their personality: white or pink gold, or alternatively black aluminum with a full pave of diamonds, protected by a slightly convex sapphire crystal that conveys class and elegance. With the precious Luxury collection, Meccaniche Veloci confirms the spirit and ferment of innovation that has animated all collections from the very beginning. This innovation is both aesthetic and qualitative, as it finds its expression in watches that respond to more and more advanced technologies and to even higher standards.

The quality of Meccaniche Veloci watches finds its expression in the uniqueness of this Limited Edition collection. Quattro Valvole − the timepiece known worldwide for its famous piston with four valves – incarnates in its evolution all the company’s enthusiasm for new materials, thoroughly exploring the universe of speed and capturing its elements inside this Limited Edition collection.

The technical characteristics of Quattro Valvole watches make them authentic jewels of mechanical engineering. Designed for the most exuberant male wrists, Quattro Valvole models combine a titanium case with a carbon or titanium fibre dial. With the exception of the four subdials the whole dial is made of these thin but very resistant fibres, which are used in extreme sports for their high technical performance.

Each cavity’s function varies according to the model: Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes, Quattro Valvole 44 Chronograph and Quattro Valvole 42 Power Reserve. The weaving of the precious carbon or titanium fibres produces an iridescent effect on the dial, creating a bold and unmistakable contrast with the solid colour of the four valves.

Finally, the collection also includes watches whose dials have been painted in the same shades and following the same procedures used for the body of luxury cars. Inside the case, which is equipped with rubber-covered titanium crowns and buttons, are high precision Swiss-made movements. The uniqueness of these timepieces is further enriched by their high-quality finishes, which respond to the dynamic character of the models: first-class straps, traditional titanium closures, slightly convex anti-reflection sapphire crystal and a water resistance that allows these watches to reach a 10-bar depth.

The excitement of Quattro Valvole watches has been envisaged in an exclusive limited production of only 250 specimens for each model and material.

This year, Italian luxury watch brand Meccaniche Veloci will introduce its “Only One Collection”, an exclusive line of watches, unique products, made from materials linked to the world of high-speed racing sports and aeronautics.

The creative time lab, well-known to the public for having applied the engineering technology from pistons in high-end watches, is innovating anew in 2012, introducing watches made from materials used in the world of high speed – in cars and aircraft.  Always dedicated to its high values of attention to design and the extreme precision of its “Swiss made” components, the “Only One Collection” has been developed from the world of motor racing (RACE range) and the aeronautical industry (AIR range) — the watch faces are inspired by motorbikes and sports cars in the first range, and military aircraft and helicopters in the second.

Interpreting RACE are the components of auto sport and motorcycles which have seen speed in rigorous world competitions. Thus, parts of the chassis and undersides of famous two- and four-wheel machines, take on a new life inside the dials of the Due and Quattro Valvole “Only One Collection”, giving to those who wear them the emotion of unrepeatable and unique sporting moments, distinctive like every single watch of this new collection.

The protagonists of the AIR models are the military aircraft most representative of international aeronautics: helicopters, bombers and fighter planes that entered the history of aviation via their numerous interventions in war operations, highlight the distinctive treatment of the “Only One Collection”. Cockpits, tail pieces and airplane and helicopter stabilisers, become the contemporary witnesses of a great history that continues to be told in the dials of these prestigious timepieces.

The “Only One Collection” merges high speed by land and air, with unique watches, incorporating exclusive fragments from a rich and fascinating history.  Each unique piece from the collection is rigorously certified by the company, which guarantees the authenticity of the materials used in their manufacture.

This exciting new addition to the family of Meccaniche Veloci watches, features a complication, which demonstrates the brands highly skilled watch making expertise. This high-tech watch is created for the true watch aficionado, maintaining the striking and unique design the Quattro Valvole has become renowned for, based on a four-phase engine piston. It is a timepiece that will not go unnoticed.

The Quattro Valvole 42 Three Hand Power Reserve introduces a revolutionary new innovation for Meccaniche Veloci; it has a unique movement. The four dials that were controlled by four independent movements have been adapted to one central dial, featuring four grooves, which house the various functions. The passage of time is now marked around the entire circumference of the watch. The groove on the upper right accommodates the date indicator, while the one on the lower right houses the winding reserve indicator, the one on the lower left contains the indicator for the day of the week and the one on the upper left displays the prestigious Meccaniche Veloci logo.
The addition of the power reserve complication provides the wearer with the ease of indicating the remaining time of the winding: when the watch is fully wound, it shows the maximum value on the graduated scale, which is 40 hours, the indicator slowly rotates towards 0 when the watch is not being worn and there is no mechanical movement, indicating that it is close to stopping.

It features a natural titanium case, which is also available with in-plane-bending (IPB) treatment, with a 42mm case diameter, which is unique for the Quattro Valvole and an anti-reflective, slightly convex, sapphire crystal glass, case front. It is also protected by a screw down, titanium bottom plate. The screw-type titanium crown with rubber lining located between hours one and two and 10 metres water resistance add to the practicality and refined sophistication of this timepiece. The

crown has three different positions of adjustment: the first position permits manual winding, the second is for rapid correction of the date and the third adjusts the time and the day.

The Quattro Valvole 42 Three Hand Power Reserve has a Soprod 9060 mechanical movement on an ETA 2892/2 base, with automatic winding. Like the individual spheres, the dial has luminescent indexes and numbers. Completing this exceptional timepiece is the stylish strap, made from superior quality materials, in rubber or leather. Available with the classical buckle or with a deployante it is attached directly to the case in a completely original way.

Meccaniche Veloci, the brand behind the famed Quattro Valvole, is proud to unveil a new design, the Quattro Valvole 48 Classic, a high calibre watch for the motor enthusiast. This new addition maintains the core aesthetic values that have always distinguished this model. The innovative use of materials and the evolution in design is illustrated in this bold and striking timepiece. In this latest watch Meccaniche Veloci has combined its distinctive design, motorsports technology and Swiss watch making expertise to create a dynamic addition to its sophisticated collection.

Originally launched in 2006, the Quattro Valvole was an instant success; this was owed to its stylistic creativity and the use of materials inspired by the world of motor sports. This success continued in 2009, when Meccaniche Veloci embarked upon a new innovation in materials through an association with Brembo, a global leader in the production of braking systems. Together they developed the use and processing of carbon ceramics and the result was a revolutionary watch: the Quattro Valvole CCM.

Following this success, the brand focused on watch manufacturing technology and quality. This emphasis placed upon research and development has continued and this new collection sees attention being given to movements and the true functionality of the watches, all distinguished by the Swiss Made hallmark.

The Quattro Valvole 48 Classic introduces a revolutionary new development: a single dial housing four movements. Unlike the original Quattro Valvole, which features four individual dials with four independent movements, the new 48 Classic has a single dial, which accommodates four grooves for the separate movements, all protected by a single, slightly convex sapphire crystal glass. This change was dictated not only by the aesthetic aspect it produces, but also and above all else by the attention that Meccaniche Veloci dedicates to the quality of its timepieces.

The 48 Classic features a 48mm titanium case, equipped with four titanium crowns, covered with a rubber lining. Its case houses four independent ETA 2671 calibre mechanical movements with automatic windings, protected by a titanium bottom plate, sealed with four screws. The dial is home to four independent movements placed inside four grooves, which are reminiscent of the valves of a four-stroke engine. The quality rubber or leather straps with lateral bands in rubber and classical titanium fold-over or deployante closure are attached directly to the case in an entirely original way.

Meccaniche Veloci once again confirms its position as a luxury watch brand that has an unmistakeable character, thanks to its attractive design, state of the art technology, watch making skill and Swiss Made engineering.

Meccaniche Veloci, the Italian watch company which is now famous worldwide for its celebrated timepiece Quattro Valvole, revolutionises its collection range by introducing a new version that is completely different from the famous piston with four dials.

The Corsa Corta, a hand winding three hands, that partially reveals the movement enclosed inside the case inspired by the naked motorcycle. The fulcrum of the Corsa Corta collection is the single dial which comes in several colours and the feature of an opening next to the winding shaft to reveal the watch mechanism in pure naked style. A ETA 6497 (UNITAS) hand winding movement is assembled inside equipped with a screw crown to guarantee waterproofing up to 10 atmospheres The watch is available in several versions: one with a titanium case, also available in titanium with brown finishing, and one with a steel case with black finishing.
In order to create this watch, Meccaniche Veloci has combined aggressive materials and an innate passion for motorcycles. In fact, the name Corsa Corta (literally, short stroke) is inspired by a type of engine where the diameter of the piston is larger than the stroke, a main feature of high performances engines. The distinctive Meccaniche Veloci shapes have successfully interpreted a new piece of the world of high performance motors, in a unique object in the world of watches.
