The Baroque-influenced neoclassical style of Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II expresses all the sophistication inherent to the Italian architectural tradition. It was from these refined, rounded forms that Mido drew its inspiration for the Baroncelli. The subtle references to this prestigious building and its harmonious curves bestow both a rare sense of elegance and a resolutely timeless style on this iconic collection, which marked its 40th anniversary in 2016.

These two new Baroncelli Heritage models perpetuate one of Mido's dearest traditions: the creation of paired models. With these timepieces featuring pure and harmonious lines, the watchmaker wanted to pay tribute to classic watchmaking codes. Their sumptuous grained white dial is protected by a round two-tone polished steel case with rose PVD treatment. The exceptional slimness of this case makes the Baroncelli Heritage one of the thinnest and lightest timepieces on the market. The bracelet, also two-tone and made from polished steel with a rose PVD treatment, is like a second skin. Almost imperceptible, it hugs the contours of the wrist perfectly and highlights the radiance of these two models. The dial features the Baroncelli Heritage logo at 6 o’clock, while the date can be read in a window at 3 o’clock. The extreme refinement of this model is also apparent in its subtle details, such as the double-sided hour and minute hands (one side sandblasted, the other diamond-cut). The seconds hand, meanwhile, is diamond-cut. These hands can be admired through the sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides that protects the dial. The elegantly understated design of these Baroncelli models is sure to appeal to any couple wishing to celebrate their union with two timeless, classic watches.

The Baroncelli Heritage is fitted with an automatic movement protected by a case measuring 33 mm in diameter for the women’s model and 39 mm for the men’s model. Enthusiasts of fine watchmaking mechanics will endlessly admire the finely decorated automatic movement, which features blued screws and an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo, through the transparent case back. This movement is protected by a sapphire crystal offering a perfect view of the heart of the watch. Water-resistant up to a pressure of 3 bars (30 m/100 ft), these two Baroncelli Heritage models come with a bracelet fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp.

Several other versions are also available in this line.
