IFL Watches has a reputation for its exquisite hand-painted watch dials, created in collaboration with various brands. Following their successful 2025 partnership with Venezianico on the Arsenale Venus, which paid tribute to Venice's rich heritage, the two brands are once again joining forces. Their latest endeavor, the Arsenale Arlecchino, delves deeper into Venetian history, specifically celebrating the renowned Venice Carnival with a vibrant and colorful design.

The creative foundation for this special edition is the Venezianico Arsenale model. The watch boasts a 40mm stainless steel case, measuring a slender 9.95mm in thickness and 44mm in length, offering 50 meters of water resistance. It comes with an integrated Canova Concept steel bracelet, known for its comfortable taper and secure folding clasp. Powering the Arlecchino is the reliable Miyota 9039 automatic movement, part of Miyota's premium 9000 series, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing a 42-hour power reserve. The black dial serves as a perfect canvas for the intricate artistry. Despite the vibrant artwork, the Venezianico cross and applied hour markers remain visible, as does the printed minute track where not obscured by the painting, ensuring readability.

The focal point of the dial is a striking, colorful mask, an immediate evocation of the Venice Carnival. This annual February event is celebrated for allowing individuals to conceal their identities behind masks, fostering a sense of liberation where social distinctions blur, and people can express different facets of themselves. The Carnival, dating back to the 11th century, traditionally allowed aristocrats and commoners to mingle freely, adopting new personas for a few days. The Arlecchino’s dial artfully captures this spirit; rather than depicting a specific character, it features a white mask surrounded by dynamic, swirling ribbons in bright orange, blue, green, and yellow, reminiscent of confetti dancing through the streets of Venice. This abstract representation reinforces the carnival's core idea of personal transformation and the joyous mystery of choosing who one wishes to be.

Through the new Arsenale Arlecchino, IFL Watches and Venezianico offer a tangible celebration of the Carnival’s festive essence all year round. This distinctive timepiece embodies the captivating and mysterious atmosphere of the Venice Carnival, making a vibrant statement that reflects the curiosity and excitement of this enduring cultural event.
