New Delhi: Power and design elegance, robustness and lightness of the steel and titanium case… the nabucco Intenso embodies   all the values of the  RAYMOND WEIL collection, inspired by Nabucco, the famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi. However, this completely new version offers a major variation:  certainly an imposing volume, but concentrated into a 43mm case diameter rather than 46mm.  Thanks to this compact format, the nabucco Intenso will enable a few more enthusiasts to join the highly elite club of nabucco owners. Fortissima!

The nabucco collection was launched in 2007, under the auspices of the founding family’s 3rd   generation.  The collection is racy, elegant and powerful, appealing to connoisseurs around the world, regardless of culture. However, they do not all have the opportunity to wear what they really want to, but now things could change, thanks to the new nabucco Intenso, a model  whose famous  chronograph characteristics are cleverly arranged within its 43mm diameter.

The case of this  entirely new model is  three millimeters  smaller, but none the less imposing: powerful horns – but with rounded angles to sit comfortably on the wrist – and  its  perfectly  balanced  proportions,   in  satin-finished,  steel  and  titanium.   The remaining features of the  collection  are equally distinctive: the tachymeter transfer on the bezel, the  three  counters at  3  o’clock  (30  minutes),  6  o’clock  (12 hours)  and  9 o’clock (small  seconds),  the  round  date  window  at 4.30, the  robust pushers and the single number 12.

However, on this compact model, the phosphorescent number 12 becomes  quite  majestic  and  attracts  the  eye,  which  then  takes  in  the  detailed decoration  on  the  black  galvanic  dial:  the  small  steel-colored   counters  and  the checkered inner background surrounded by concentric circles. Finally, the blued steel of the chronograph hands  contrasts  effectively with the chiaroscuro decor. The case is mounted on a black, alligator-style,  rubber strap, blending comfort with strength, in complete harmony with the collection.

With this new 43mm model – nabucco Intenso –  RAYMOND WEIL is exploiting  its nuances, while losing nothing of its intensity. It’s a safe bet that its success will continue to crescendo.
