Arsène Lippens updates its Artigiano collection, adding two new dial variations and an updated case.
The Stelvio and Bellagio models add two new dial variations, and all models in the Artigiano collection now have display casebacks.
The first batch will be available during a limited ordering window from November 5th to 11th, and is priced at CHF 1,500.
While the constant wave of new stone dial watches may be showing signs of somewhat slowing down, the popularity of alternative dial materials seems to continue to hold watch enthusiasts’ interest. Those familiar with vintage references know that linen dials (whether real or an effect) have an ardent fan base, with the textured dial adding visual interest to what could be an otherwise simple timepiece.
Arsène Lippens’ Artigiano Ref 0599 series has taken the textile dial idea to another level, making textiles the focus of the timepiece. The original trio of watches were released earlier this year and utilised different textiles sourced from the Lake Como region of Italy. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide, the collection was a hit for the brand. Closing out 2026, Arsène Lippens has updated the collection with new dials and features, and made the model more widely available.
The case dimensions of the Arsène Lippens Artigiano series have remained the same. The 316L stainless steel case measures 37.5mm in diameter, 9.9mm thick, 45.5mm lug-to-lug, and has a 20mm lug width. The case has a mostly brushed finish with a polished double-stepped bezel, and is water-resistant to 50 metres. Covering the dial is a box-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. One of the big updates for the series is that the cases now feature a sapphire display case back, providing a clear view of the manually wound calibre inside.
As for the dials of the Artigiano series, the denim Como, tweed-like Chianti, and turquoise green cotton & bamboo Portofino models remain in the collection. New for this update are the Stelvio and Bellagio models. The Stelvio features a khaki green dial made from a cotton and bamboo blended textile. The earthy sand, khaki, and khaki green hues evoke the landscape of the Italian Alps.
The Bellagio model’s dial is also made from a cotton-bamboo blend, with white, blue, and silver threads. Named after the town on the shores of Lake Como, the dial colours represent the colours, light, and atmosphere at Lake Como.
Powering the Arsène Lippens Artigiano Ref 0599 series is the manually wound Selitta Sw210-b. Displaying the hours and minutes, the SW210-1b has a 48-hour power reserve and is finished with a mixture of sandblasted, brushed, and polished finishes.
The Artigiano series comes with an Alcantara leather strap, with different colours to match or complement each dial variation. The straps come with quick-release spring bars and a pin-buckle clasp.
Moving away from a strict limited edition, the Arsène Lippen Artigiano Ref 0599 Textile Collection will be available during a limited ordering window and will continue to be produced in small batches. The watches will be available to order for the duration of the ordering window, or will close when the planned production run sells out, whichever occurs first. Given the popularity of these models, they will likely still be hard to get, but chances of getting one on your wrist have greatly improved should you be keen to add Arsène Lippens’ unique blend of Swiss and Italian craftsmanship to your collection.
