Beda’a Angles Mecaline “Italy” Limited Edition

Beda’a unveils Angles Mecaline “Italy” at After Time in Milano.

Beda’a introduces the Angles Mecaline “Italy”: a limited-edition timepiece inspired by the timeless grandeur of Venice.

The Angles Mecaline “Italy” is a limited-edition creation that pays tribute to the eternal splendour of Venice. Drawing inspiration from the refined geometry of the Palazzo Ducale, this exclusive model fuses Italian cultural heritage with contemporary watchmaking precision.

Its octagonal case mirrors the architectural rhythm of the palace’s facade, while the dial features a finely detailed geometric motif that reinterprets the building’s signature lozenge patterns.

Collectors will discover a unique dial configuration featuring Roman numerals at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, affirming the model’s mechanical soul.

This edition is paired with a textured tannish-beige strap, adding a touch of understated sophistication and enhancing the dialogue between material and design. With this piece, Beda’a celebrates Italian artistry and its enduring influence on modern aesthetics.

The Angles collection has spearheaded Beda’a’s growth. Until now, it was available only with a quartz movement. Collectors, however, had long requested a mechanical version. Today, the watch company’s designer and CEO Sohaib Maghnam answers that call. After 15 months of development, the challenge of remaining true to the original Angles design has been met with only a 0.7 mm increase in profile.

• The Angles collection welcomes a hand-wound mechanical version: Angles Mecaline

• A 50-piece limited edition, priced at CHF 1250 (excluding tax).

• A piece close to collectors' hearts—now manually wound with small seconds.

• Features a 37 mm case whose proportions transcend gender, appealing to a wide circle of collectors.

• Positioned with clarity and balance, at the crossroads of watchmaking depth and everyday wearability.

A signature design evolves – from within

Some challenges are as easy to phrase as they are hard to solve: how do you transform a quartz watch into a mechanical one… and without changing its design? The question may sound straightforward, but it is anything but — especially for the Angles collection, where design is everything.

Sohaib Maghnam envisioned a shape at once powerful and graceful: a watch with an octagonal bezel set on an angled case middle, its stepped layers refined by a delicate interplay of finishes. It was an audacious project for a fledgling brand, yet one that proved decisive: today, the Angles collection stands at the forefront of Beda’a’s growth, embraced by collectors of all kinds – from first-time buyers to seasoned enthusiasts, women and men alike.

Almost all, that is: “A segment of traditional watchmaking enthusiasts had been asking for a mechanical version of the Angles watch. But the collection lives through and for its design, where proportions are key. Fitting a mechanical movement into the volume made for a quartz one is next to impossible without compromising those proportions. In watchmaking, whenever a model exists in both quartz and mechanical versions, the latter is always noticeably thicker. That was never an option for the Angles,” explains Sohaib Maghnam, CEO of Beda’a.

15 months of development…so that nothing had to change

It took no less than fifteen months of development to get there. Countless infinitesimal adjustments were necessary… to ensure that the evolution would remain undetectable. In the end, the difference between the quartz and mechanical versions amounts to no more than 0.7 mm — a distinction rather than a difference, and virtually imperceptible.

Achieving this balance required a number of subtle modifications and refinements. Among them, a slimmer bezel, dial, and crystal, along with a solid caseback to avoid the extra height of a sapphire exhibition back.

And a new crown,” adds Sohaib Maghnam, “because the Angles Mecaline is hand-wound, the crown also had to be redesigned to ensure perfect handling in everyday use.”

Reliability, ease of ownership – and a watchmaker’s touch

The mechanical movement chosen for the Angles is the ETA 7001 (with approximately 42 hours of power reserve), marking a first for Beda’a. This caliber is widely regarded for its reliability and ease of maintenance, highlighting its cost-effectiveness across every dimension of ownership. To visually distinguish the mechanical model from its quartz counterpart, the Angles Mecaline features a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. “It affirms the Angles’ horological identity, and also serves as a reassuring sign of the watch’s proper functioning,” notes Sohaib Maghnam.
