Full-Cataloguing
UNIMATIC introduces the Modello 5 Super Slim, a new case presented for the first time with this unique piece. Created in collaboration with Italian artist and craftsman Luca Cavolini, the watch combines UNIMATIC’s distinctive functional design with traditional goldsmithing and engraving techniques.
The present example features a completely handmade dial, crafted from raw metal with an approximately 0.6 mm thick silver base incorporating pure 24-karat gold inlays. The work required particular attention to the flatness, dimensions and tolerances necessary for the correct assembly of the watch.
The black UNIMATIC logo is applied directly to the handmade surface, while the watch is fitted with standard UNIMATIC white hands featuring Super-LumiNova® GL C1. The caseback continues the same approach in a more restrained form. The central UNIMATIC symbol is directly inlaid in pure 24-karat gold into the steel, while the inscription “TIME FOR ART 2026” runs continuously across both materials. The caseback is entirely engraved by hand.
Presented as a unique piece for Time for Art 2026, this watch marks the introduction of the new Modello 5 Super Slim and brings together UNIMATIC’s precise design language with the entirely handcrafted approach of Luca Cavolini Studio.
