Alessi — Mariposa AL15000 | Polished steel wristwatch

There is something timeless that Mariposa keeps at the wrist. The 18/10 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, surrounds the white dial with a lightness that belies the material's solidity. Its compact diameter - just two centimeters - makes it an intimate, almost discreet object, designed for those who wear time as a secret to share only with themselves. The glossy finish captures the light and reflects it transformed, different at every hour of the day. Mariposa was born from the mind of Miriam Mirri, a Roman designer with a strongly poetic sensibility, who moves with ease between the world of industrial products and that of visual storytelling. The name - butterfly in Spanish and Old Italian - is no coincidence: it evokes transformation, lightness, the paradox of a presence that asserts itself without weighing anything down. For Alessi, Mirri created an object belonging to the tradition of good Italian design: functional in substance, indispensable in form. At Stilmobili, we chose Mariposa because it represents exactly that borderline area that fascinates us: between jewelry and instrument, between fashion and design. It is the ideal watch for those who already have everything they need and instead seek something that says something. Perfect as a stylish gift, as a personal purchase to complete a refined silhouette, or as a small act of fidelity to necessary beauty. Project notes: part of the main Alessi collection, Mariposa is now discontinued - the fall/winter lineup and the "end of series" designation make it a piece worth seeking out, with the added value of those who arrive in time.
