Modello 5 Super Slim TFA26
Unimatic introduces the Modello 5 Super Slim with this unique TimeForArt creation, developed in collaboration with Italian artist and craftsman Luca Cavolini. The piece combines the brand’s functional design with traditional goldsmithing and engraving techniques.
Its handmade dial features a 0.6 mm silver base with pure 24-karat gold inlays, creating an abstract interpretation of light reflecting on water. Polished engravings and gold details shift with the light, while the hand-crafted surface contrasts with Unimatic’s precise aesthetic.
The hand-engraved caseback continues the design with a gold-inlaid Unimatic symbol and “TIME FOR ART 2026” inscription. Together, the watch introduces the new Modello 5 Super Slim while celebrating Cavolini’s artisanal approach.
