Furlan Marri pays homage to classic watch design with a contemporary twist in their latest release, the Disco Volante. Drawing inspiration from the 1930s’ circular, flying saucer-like cases, the Disco Volante perfectly aligns with Furlan Marri’s ongoing mission to modernize Art Deco aesthetics. The result is a watch that resonates with today’s trend of reviving shaped cases and vintage designs for a modern audience.
The Disco Volante features a 38mm circular case with hidden lugs, ensuring a seamless and elegant look on the wrist. This design choice makes the watch slightly smaller, appealing to both men and women who appreciate modern watches with a vintage flair. The integrated crown and gently curved bezel further enhance the Disco Volante’s sleek profile.
At launch, three dial options are available: Havana Disco, Disco Celeste, and Disco Verde. Each dial features a sector layout, applied markers, Arabic numerals, and a running seconds indicator at 6 o’clock. The innovative use of lume around the hour, minute, and small second indicators adds a contemporary touch, creating a captivating light show.
Powered by the classic Peseux 7001 movement, the Disco Volante is celebrated for its thinness, robustness, and ease of service. The movement’s aesthetic upgrades, including redesigned bridges and black polished screws, complement the watch’s elegant design. With a case height of just 8.95mm (including the sapphire crystal), the Disco Volante maintains a slim profile essential for its unique shape and style.
Priced at $2,780, the Disco Volante is a permanent addition to the Furlan Marri catalog, with batches available later this year. It is a must-have for those seeking a watch that blends vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship.
