Handel
Broad acetate in a deep forest green. Intellectual, slightly Italian, slightly American.
Hover · See it wornForest-green broad acetate with a rose-gold core — Soletti has made the elder statesman frame the catalogue was missing.
Worn with the Day-Date Chocolate, the Handel is a wrist that has settled the bill before anyone has asked.
57-18-148. Heavy, intentional, the rose-gold core is structural. A frame for a man who reads everything by daylight.
Italian Mazzucchelli 1849 acetate.
Cut from the same cellulose-acetate blocks Mazzucchelli has poured since 1849. Every Soletti frame is sliced and shaped by hand, then tumbled for seventy-two hours. The polish is what acetate does when it is left alone long enough.
Founder
The elder frame.
The Handel is the frame for the man who has paid for the table. Broad acetate, fifty-seven at the lens, in a forest green Mazzucchelli pours twice a year. It is intellectual, slightly Italian, slightly American — the colour of a tweed jacket and a Connecticut afternoon at the same time.
The rose-gold core wire is visible at the temple because the temple of an Handel is structural, not decorative. The frame is heavier than a Bellini, heavier than a Cain, almost twice the acetate of a Bowie. It is built for a man who notices weight and prefers an object that has it.
We paired it with the Day-Date 40 in rose gold with a chocolate dial — the watch that answers a long lunch the way the Handel answers a long meeting. Both pieces are designed to be the last word.

Rolex Day-Date
Handel is the elder frame — broad acetate in a deep forest green, intellectual, slightly Italian, slightly American. The Day-Date 40 in rose gold with a chocolate dial answers it the way a glass of armagnac answers the end of a long lunch. Together they belong to the wrist that has settled the bill before anyone has asked.
