The Swiss watchmaking scene is seeing the emergence of a new generation of players, and among them, Furlan Marri stands out with undeniable elegance. Revealed to the general public after winning the Watchmaking Revelation Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in November 2021, the young brand continues to carve a unique path in the contemporary watchmaking landscape.
Refined and Accessible Watchmaking
With the launch of the Disco Volante model, Furlan Marri has taken a decisive step, affirming its place among the brands that matter. This timepiece is not just a beautiful object: it embodies a philosophy—accessible yet demanding watchmaking, with impeccable finishing.
“Making premium finishes accessible,” says Andrea Furlan, co-founder of the brand, in an interview with Europa Star. And the promise is kept.
Unlike many microbrands that focus on extravagance or radical innovation, Furlan Marri takes another approach. A refined, almost introspective style that draws on the past to redesign the present.
A Design Inspired by the 60s and 70s
The Disco Volante is its latest expression. Inspired by iconic creations from the 1960s and 1970s, it celebrates an era where bold shapes and creative freedom were pillars of watchmaking. This model, with its sophisticated neo-vintage design, delicately evokes the aesthetic codes of a time while reinterpreting them with striking modernity.
Despite its young age, Furlan Marri already shows rare maturity. The Disco Volante is more than a watch: it’s a statement. Proof that independent Swiss watchmaking still has much to say.
A Case Dedicated to Proportion
The watch features a 38 mm case crafted from 316L steel, alternating mirror-polished and brushed surfaces with great finesse.
The lugs, subtly hidden, almost disappear into the silhouette. The slightly curved bezel extends the lines without interruption, while the crown, integrated into the case, completes the watch’s profile.
Everything expresses restraint and mastery.
Each element seems weighed, balanced, thoughtfully silent, and the timepiece embodies a true art of proportion and volume, never seeking to impose itself.
Everything comes into focus at the dial, where the subtle details reveal intent.
The Dial
We discover a subtle composition divided into four distinct zones, each offering its own texture and light. Shades alternate between deep blue and delicate silver, creating a play of reflections that shift over time.
At 6 o’clock, the small seconds gently draws the eye. It acts as an anchor point, quietly structuring the whole.
A closer look reveals the markers. They move slightly toward the center, as if trying to touch it. Their subtle whiteness contrasts with the background, never aggressive—lending something alive to the dial.
The Movement
Let’s talk about the movement: a Peseux 7001, manually wound. Ultra-thin, discreet, almost silent…
Slim enough to be forgotten on the wrist, but when you turn the watch over, the gaze is caught. The Côtes de Genève appear—a reminder that, in watchmaking, beauty never stops at the dial.
This is the sort of finishing you only notice if you take your time. Nothing ostentatious.
Just a detail for those who know how to truly look.
Such is the paradox at Furlan Marri: refinement is never shouted. It reveals itself slowly, to those who see.

Watch Members Club’s Opinion
The new model DISCO VOLANTE, reference Celeste, impresses with its 38 mm case and Peseux 7001 movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve.
The Disco Volante seduces with the quality of its finishes, the coherence of its design, and the balance of its proportions.
It’s a watch designed for discerning collectors, yet remains accessible to those wishing to enter watchmaking with elegance and meaning.
WMC salutes a creation that does not seek noise but leaves a lasting mark
A pure, timeless piece that testifies to a strong vision.
Furlan Marri can no longer be considered simply a revelation: the brand is now one to closely follow, building its legitimacy with rigor, model after model.
Behind each detail lies a strong intention: rejecting the superfluous, emphasizing the essential, and turning “accessible beauty” into a true watchmaking signature.
