Aesthetically Handcrafted

Perlage’s details

Each Leone Menichini timepiece is meticulously hand-crafted with such obvious craftsmanship in every detail.
In every model, these words also take shape in the almost artful process of "Floretting", or Perlage, which is a special application to protect some stainless steel parts on multimillion dollar Super Yachts. From their decades of perfecting this application to steel for yachts, Leone Menichini is applying Perlage to each individual timepiece to provide protection to the steel even on the internal components that would not be visible until the watch is opened. Perlage, in Haute Horlogerie manufacturing, is typically utilized as a finishing technique.
Why apply Perlage even on “invisible” internal components? Because we imagine our timepieces as a complex set of beauty with each of its components a source of pride for us. Every single piece of the wristwatch is the protagonist of the scene.
Every detail is essential in the creation of a Leone Menichini timepiece. It is the care and time taken to perfect all of the details that makes the difference.
"Many brands can claim that their watch is handmade. We can truly say that each Leone Menichini timepiece is not only handmade but it is also aesthetically handcrafted." Leone Menichini 2022

Material

Titanium, invariable lightness and strength

Titanium, a very high strength, light metal that offers many plus: resists any natural or chemical corrosive agent, non-magnetic, non-toxic, biocompatible and hypoallergenic. Compared to the same hardness of steel, titanium is 40% lighter. It’s the ideal partner to give shape to a particularly marked design without compromising the wearability of the wristwatch, perfect for LM Watch models with more character.
