6221550 Aventurine Arsenal

Aventurine, used in this Arsenale model, is a precious glassy material discovered in Venice in the 17th century by the masters of Murano. It is known for its characteristic sparkle, similar to a starry sky, obtained by adding small fragments of copper during processing. A detail that makes each dial unique, inspired by the Venetian tradition.

Venetian glassmakers created it by accident, pouring copper fragments into a blue vitreous paste. The result was a brilliant, iridescent glass that became a symbol of Venetian craftsmanship and spread throughout Europe. Today, this tradition lives on in Venetian furnaces, where fire and ingenuity transform the material into unique creations. We have reinterpreted this art in our watches, breathing new life into aventurine on the dials, where depth and reflections evoke the charm of ancient Venetian craftsmanship.
