Written by James Matthews
We managed to get our hands on the new Bertolucci FASCINO! Here is a watch review
About The Watch
The Bertolucci FASCINO arrived in a beautiful gift box with all the proper tags and papers. Bertolucci seems to be riding into style with the new FASCINO. This watch retails from $5,900 to $6,400! We got it at GoldWatches.com
First Impressions
Once you open the box, the solid 18k gold watch hits your eye with its size and with the boldness of the dial design. You don’t open the box to find an undersized small watch. You get visually smacked, which is a great first impression. When you lift the watch out of its box and feel it’s’ weight, you feel this is a straightforward, solid 18k gold watch.
Case and Dimensions
The width of the case measures 24.5 mm tapering at the center to 22mm. The length of the case is 32 mm.The bezel is 16mm in diameter. The case height is 5mm. The case is solid 18k yellow gold 19mm 18k lugs. The bracelet is connected by screws. The case-back proudly displays the Bertolucci logo under that is the name “Bertolucci”, 18k and the unique model number all beautifully placed. The case-back is a screw in design. The crown is stamped with the Bertolucci logo.
Bezel and Crystal
The bezel is rectangle and very legible and has very solid authority in its movement.
The crystal is sapphire, and is coated inside and out with anti-reflective treatment. It is semi-flat, not domed, and as such seems to disappear at times.
Dial
The dial is simply breathtaking. The 10 diamond markers which sit on a bed of mother-of-pearl going up 5 on each side in a straight line and at the number 12 there is the Bertolucci logo and the Roman numeral ‘VI’ at the 6. Under the 6 marker is the words “Swiss Made”. The hour and minute hands are 18k gold and clearly display the time.
Movement
The movement is quartz ETA 976.001 and seems to keep time accurately.
Bracelet and Clasp
The bracelet is solid 18k gold and each shining link is attached by a screw. The clasp is deployment making it a comfortable and easy fit.
Conclusion
I love this watch! Everyone who sees this watch loves it. I would give this watch a definite 5 stars and would recommend buying one. Bertolucci is making a comeback and Bertolucci FASCINO is one of the lines that they are riding.
