Meccaniche Veloci | A New Watch Born from the World of Motorsport


A Two-Valve Watch Born from the World of Motorsport


Introducing the New "Duevalvole Evolution"


Meccaniche Veloci, a brand that has previously released watches with unique designs inspired by the world of motorsport, has now debuted the "Duevalvole Evolution" in Japan, a timepiece conceived to evoke the cylinder head of a two-valve engine.

Utilizing Unique Materials, from Fighter Jets to Machine Parts



Following the "Quattrovalvole," a novel style inspired by the cylinders of a four-valve engine, comes the newly introduced "Duevalvole Evolution." This watch, which artfully captures the design of a two-valve engine's cylinder head—complete with its intake and exhaust valves—with Italy's signature playful flair, has now arrived in Japan.

The 44mm titanium case is built upon a design featuring two differently sized dials, mimicking cylinder heads, all unified under a single piece of sapphire crystal for a seamless aesthetic. The crown is wrapped in rubber to enhance protection and usability, and the dual crowns on either side allow for effortless adjustment of the dual time function. The strap is the same rubber strap used for the "Quattrovalvole Evolution."

Beyond its unforgettable, original design, Meccaniche Veloci's use of materials is also distinctive. In keeping with its motorsport roots, the brand employs unconventional, boundary-pushing materials not typically found in watchmaking, such as carbon fiber, actual racing car body parts, and even components from genuine fighter jets.

The "Duevalvole Evolution" captures the spirit of motorsport within a wristwatch, offering a delightful visual experience. It is a masterpiece that embodies bold Italian design and a playful sensibility.
