In 1982, Riccardo Zannetti created his first unique watch, expressing a vision of watchmaking in which mechanical precision and decorative art could become one.
Today, that original gesture returns through Vesta.
This is not a nostalgic revival, but a declaration of continuity. Vesta reinterprets the creative origins of Zannetti through a contemporary watch distinguished by its architectural form, rich surfaces and unmistakable Roman identity.

Its titanium case is engraved with motifs inspired by ancient Rome and enriched with polychrome enamels. Every line, relief and colour is created to interact with light, transforming the case into a sculptural surface.
The mother-of-pearl dial, completed by an enamelled inner section, Zannetti indexes and distinctive hands, introduces a luminous contrast between classical references and contemporary design. Inside, a Swiss automatic movement makes Vesta suitable for everyday wear while remaining deeply connected to traditional watchmaking.
The name evokes the Temple of Vesta and the sacred flame: a symbol of continuity, identity and values preserved through time.
Zannetti is Rome’s only independent Haute Horlogerie atelier and one of the very few in Italy. Every creation includes a tangible element of hand-craftsmanship and is produced in very small limited series or as a unique piece.
Vesta does not look back to repeat the past. It looks back to recognize its origins and to transform memory into matter, colour and time.
