ELEGANCE, MODERNITY AND TECHNIQUE

Aethalia is the ancient name of Elba Island, where Locman has its headquarters. Coined by the ancient Greeks, it means sparkle and refers to the glow that the Argonauts noticed when observing the island from the sea: these were the lights given off by the furnaces of the Etruscans, laboriously engaged in forging the metals in which Elba has always been rich. Technical and craft skills characteristic of Elban peoples since antiquity, again Aethalia is the name the Elbans gave to the mythical ferry that in the 1950s connected the Island to the mainland, the first ferry with direct access for cars, without the need to use the nets that until then hoisted cars onto the deck.

The first tourism on the Island began in those years, and Europe’s first modern ferry symbolized the beginning of adventure, progress, and rebirth. The décor was immaculately kept, the bartenders served cocktails in crystal glasses, and the trip though short was an unforgettable experience. Aethalia punctuated the time of Elbans and served the main routes, at noon and eight o’clock in the evening, closing connections. Her arrival or departure was an event, and summoned by the unmistakable sound of her siren, Elbans gathered at the port to see who was arriving and who was leaving. It was a symbol of modernity, technology and openness to the world, of an Italy facing the future.

It is these values of elegance, modernity and technique that Locman is inspired by with the new Aethalia collection.

THE MOVEMENT
AN ITALIAN EXCELLENCE

Aethalia mounts the mechanical hand-wound OISA Caliber 29-50 Cinque Ponti movement. The movement, of 100% Italian manufacture, features handmade Còtes de Genève machining on the bridges enclosing the gear train and Perlage machining, also handmade, on the mainplate.

Equipped with 19 jewels, it features a “Masselottes”-type time regulation, which is thus done through counterweights placed on the balance wheel, rather than through the classic regulating racket located on the balance bridge. The winding autonomy is guaranteed 60 hours, with a daily chronometric tolerance of +/- 10 seconds.

Mare | The Collection

The Mare collection is available in four versions whose colours recall those of the oceans. Three steel watches feature ombré dials that echo the shades of water, with full colour giving way – at 6 o’clock – to lighter shades. Black becomes anthracite grey, deep blue fades into a more transparent shade and bright green softens into a light green.
