Arsène Lippens 0599-B and 0599-ST Add Woven Dials

Arsène Lippens has added the Artigiano Bellagio Ref. 0599-B and Stelvio Ref. 0599-ST at CHF1,500 each excluding local taxes and import duties. The additions bring new woven dial colors and an open caseback to the hand-wound collection. The first ordering window has already closed.

The texture comes from real fabric

Cotton and bamboo form the textile used on both dials. Individual threads create the surface pattern, so small differences between watches are part of the material. The fabric is sourced from Italy, continuing the collection's connection to the textile traditions around Lake Como.

Bellagio combines blue, white and silver tones, paired with an anthracite-gray Alcantara strap. Stelvio moves toward khaki and earthy green, with a matching strap. The brand associates the two treatments with winter around Lake Como and the alpine landscape of the Stelvio Pass.

Slender hands and a restrained hour scale leave the weave visible. A raised logo adds another level above the textile. The double-step bezel surrounds the dial with polished and brushed surfaces, keeping the case geometry distinct from the irregular pattern within.
