Enrico Ferraris presents Monza, a mechanical 15-day spring-driven pendulum clock, designed to integrate traditional charm with modern taste, completed in January 2021 in Milan's hinterland.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Enrico Ferraris introduces Monza, a table pendulum clock inspired by the aerodynamic principles of the 70s, featuring a radiator-like design that echoes the era's supersonic jets and Italian supercars. The clock's unique feature is the use of 2 hardened crystal glass discs with welded stainless bushes, replacing traditional metal plates, to showcase the beauty of the skeleton mechanism. The design challenges traditional manufacturing limits, highlighting Italian craftsmanship and horological excellence.
Manufactured and assembled in MOMâs company workshop, the clock's movement sets on hardened crystal glass plates, with all brass gears hand mirror polished and Rhodium plated. Monza runs on hermetically closed ball bearings, reducing friction for a smoother clockwork. The wooden case, made of chromed solid wood, is covered with hand-sewn red leather outside and black Alcantara inside to absorb beat noise.
The clock's technical specifications include a planetary gearing and Graham deadbeat escapement, offering a 15-day power reserve, with dimensions of 675mm width, 200mm depth, and 420mm height. Monza represents a fusion of luxury design, lifestyle, and Italian craftsmanship, embodying the essence of clock art and the "Made in Italy" ethos.
