Ingenieux made a notable impression at Dubai Watch Week 2025, where the brand unveiled two distinctive timepieces that captured the attention of collectors and design lovers alike. The brand invited guests to Maison Luxe in Dubai Mall for an intimate presentation of the Fittipaldi and the StarMoon Goldberger — two creations that reflect the dual essence of Ingenieux: the thrill of speed and the refinement of classical watchmaking.
The evening opened with a tribute to Emerson Fittipaldi, whose legendary 1972 Formula 1 victory inspired the sleek and powerful Ingenieux Fittipaldi. Crafted in 18-carat yellow gold with a tropical black dial and enamel tachymeter bezel, the 37 mm chronograph houses a rare Valjoux 726 movement from the 1970s. Only 72 pieces will be produced, each individually numbered and engraved, with pre-orders now available and a six-week lead time. The racing icon attended the unveiling himself, sharing with guests that the watch “brought the colors of victory back to life.”
The presentation then shifted towards a more poetic expression of craftsmanship with the debut of the StarMoon Goldberger. Dedicated to Auro Montanari — the renowned collector and historian known as John Goldberger — this 18-carat yellow gold model charmed attendees with its gilt dial, gold bracelet, and legendary Valjoux 88 movement featuring a chronograph, full calendar and moonphase. Limited to 88 pieces, it resonated as a harmonious fusion of vintage inspiration and modern elegance.
For Marco Mavilla, the founder of Ingenieux, the event marked another milestone in his evolution from the playful fashion world of ToyWatch to the realm of high horology. His vision — to blend Italian emotional design with Swiss precision — was evident throughout the evening.
The showcase also highlighted the Hepta, Ingenieux’s signature stainless-steel model designed in Milan and powered by the Swiss Sellita SW300. With interchangeable straps, minimalist lines, and striking natural stone dials such as Lapis Lazuli, Malachite and Meteorite, Hepta stands as the brand’s versatile anchor piece.
Set within the refined environment of Maison Luxe, the unveiling reaffirmed Ingenieux’s rising profile. Both timepieces quickly emerged as standout releases of the week, signaling that this young maison is one of the most exciting names shaping the future of contemporary horology.
