Off-center dial

One of the most distinctive elements of this Limited Edition is the offset dial, a feature typical of high-end watches. Crafted from white mother-of-pearl, an iridescent and precious material, the dial is framed by a polished steel ring. The background, with a map of Asia printed on fine papyrus, evokes Marco Polo's legendary journeys, narrating the adventure that cemented him as one of history's most famous explorers.



A Tribute to 700 Years of Marco Polo

This year marks the 700th anniversary of the death of Marco Polo, one of the greatest explorers in history. Born in Venice in 1254, Marco Polo embarked on an extraordinary journey to the East, crossing unknown territories and fascinating cultures. His most famous work, "Il Milione" (also known as "The Book of the Marvels of the World"), is a detailed account of his travels, which has inspired generations of explorers and adventurers. On this important anniversary, we celebrate not only the man who challenged the boundaries of the known world, but also his invaluable contribution to knowledge and understanding between civilizations.





Pioneer of the Silk Road

Marco Polo is remembered as the pioneer of the Silk Road, the ancient network of trade routes that connected the West and the East. His journey, which began in 1271, took him through some of the most emblematic stops of the time: from his native Venice across the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, through the vast expanses of Anatolia and the imposing Iranian plateau, to the caravan cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. He continued through the Taklamakan Desert and the Pamir Mountains, finally reaching the court of Kublai Khan in China. Marco Polo not only explored unknown territories but also meticulously documented the cultures, economies, and wonders of the Eastern world. His contribution opened new paths for trade and cultural exchange, making the Silk Road a symbol of connection between distant civilizations.





A Bridge to the East

The watch's case back pays homage to Marco Polo's legendary journey with a detailed engraving of his map. Starting from Venice, the route crosses the Middle East and Asia, passing through historic cities such as Constantinople, Baghdad, and Samarkand, to reach Beijing, the capital of the Mongol Empire. After serving at Kublai Khan's court, the journey continues along maritime routes to Hangzhou, before taking the return path to Venice.

We have chosen to produce 400 pieces in homage to Marco Polo, dedicated to our passionate collectors worldwide. This exclusive edition celebrates the legendary explorer and his spirit of adventure. Each watch is marked with a unique serial number, precisely engraved on the case back and recorded on the Certificate of Authenticity.
