Montenapoleone Glass Box, 22-28 September

Lab Program

During Milan Fashion Week, in the heart of Montenapoleone, a Glass Box with a design inspired by a large speaker creates a direct dialogue with the city and its passers-by. An open, contemporary, and immersive space where the technical language of watchmaking meets that of art, design, and creativity.

Available in 40 and 35-millimeter case sizes, both anniversary editions are distinguished by their silver-plated dials with a striking brushed finish, inspired by a rare variant of the Ingenieur SL from the 1970s. The Ingenieur logo on the dial subtly incorporates the number “50” as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Gérald Genta’s design.
