Furlan Marri Reinvents the Disco Volante: Affordable Brilliance with Lab-Grown Diamonds
Echoing childhood whimsy amidst a chic design, the Furlan Marri Disco Diamonds Onyx takes the time-honoured art of gem-setting to a new frontier. Simplicity marries bursts of brilliance as Furlan Marri subtly and skillfully integrates lab-grown diamonds into the watch’s design. In contrast to one’s first childhood drawings of watches — where the strap’s presence was disregarded — the Furlan Marri Disco Diamonds Onyx is a fully realised, wearable gem.
This particular blend of elegance and affordability is a concept that earlier seemed unreachable. For instance, the French-Chinese brand Atelier Wen set the bar high with the Ancestra Launch Edition Jiao model, which boasted lab-grown diamond indices against a hand-hammered fumé dial. The Disco Diamonds Onyx takes this a step further, intertwining rich textures and intricacy.
Reviving the classic Patek Philippe ref. 5004P designs with baguette indices, the Disco Diamonds Onyx is more than an amalgamation of an interesting case and diamond indices. It serves to redefine the gem-setting landscape with a timepiece that merges impeccable style with value.
