Over one hundred years of expertise are expressed in this timeless and precise timepiece – a Mido Signature – that brings together Tradition and Innovation. The sleek lines of this new Baroncelli in shades of steel and anthracite open generously to reveal its inner workings. Its movement is visible from the case back, but also on the dial side. The oscillations of this mechanical beating heart demonstrate superior precision, housed in a finely wrought case. The formidable reliability of the Caliber 80 draws on a Nivachron™ balance-spring and a power reserve of up to 80 hours. Understated and fascinating, the Baroncelli Signature Skeleton offers an exceptional, timeless blend of tradition and modernity.
Its rounded architecture echoes the curves of musical notes: the Rennes Opera House stands out both for its rich programme of performances and for the harmony of its neoclassical construction. From the top of its façade, statues of the Muses of Antiquity symbolically watch over the arts. Emblematic of Mido’s watchmaking expertise, the Baroncelli collection, created in 1976, celebrates the timeless beauty of this building. Featuring an openworked centre, the finely sandblasted anthracite dial of the Baroncelli Signature Skeleton reveals a subtle contrast: the fascinating details of the movement. Bridges decorated with Geneva stripes, gilded gears and jewels are exposed in plays of transparency. This spectacle – a delight for connoisseurs – nevertheless remains beautifully simple, embodying refined minimalism. Polished indexes add shine to the overall look, as do its slender hands, which are faceted for the hours and minutes, and diamond-cut for the seconds. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, adding a luxurious touch to this unique horological face.
Exuding contemporary classicism, the Baroncelli Signature Skeleton features revisited lines and more refined lugs. The roundness of the case – with a diameter of 39 mm – underscores its timeless elegance. Forged in steel and then polished, a dazzling five-row bracelet and folding clasp offer comfort on the wrist with stylish restraint.
A tribute to fine watchmaking, the openworked dial reveals a skeletonised mainplate and a finely decorated automatic movement tinted with an anthracite coating – the Caliber 80. On both sides, subtle details can be seen, such as its oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo. Its power reserve of up to 80 hours guarantees reliability and precision, while the Nivachron™ balance-spring further supports this performance. For Mido, and particularly within the Baroncelli Signature collection, cutting-edge watchmaking technology is synonymous with truly timeless style. Understated and fascinating, this new Skeleton version is water-resistant up to a pressure of 5 bar (50 m / 165 ft).
With the Baroncelli Signature Skeleton, Mido forges new bonds between watchmaking tradition and technological innovation and pays tribute to mechanics and luxurious refinement.
