Verdi
Gun-metal acetate, silver-mirrored. The architecture of a 1970s Milanese silhouette refined to a single thin line. Conceived alongside the Daytona in platinum.
Hover · See it wornThe Verdi, lived in.
The rarest of new things — a frame designed by someone who clearly wears glasses.
Italian-designed and quietly insistent. The kind of aviator a man wears for ten years without thinking about it.
54-18-145. Plated alloy. UV400. No marketing department was present at the design meeting.
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 only aviator I'd consider owning.
I wear an aviator most days. I have worn one since I was twenty-two. I have worn cheap ones, expensive ones, vintage Persols my grandfather left me, the ones every other man in Milan owns. Most are passable. None of them are right.
The Verdi is the frame I designed because I could not buy it. The bridge bar is eighteen millimetres — wider than the standard, because I do not like the way classic aviators rest on the nose; they slip. The temples are titanium. The lens is mirror-coated UV400 because the right lens makes the rest of the design legible.
I do not want it to be the most popular frame in our atelier. I want it to be the one the right man wears for ten years without thinking about it again.

Rolex Daytona
The Verdi was drawn one winter, in front of a watchmaker's bench. Gun-metal acetate, silver-mirrored lens, the architecture of a 1970s Milanese silhouette refined to a single thin line. We answered it with the chronograph that quietly defined an era — the Daytona in platinum, ice-blue dial. Worn together, they are the morning a deal closes and the evening it is celebrated.
