I like the Artigiano Ref 0599 a lot, and if you missed the first edition of 50 earlier this year, next week you get another chance. The idea is simple: a small, time-only dress watch with a dial made from Italian fabric sourced around Lake Como. Round two brings two new fabrics, an exhibition caseback and, most usefully, no fixed cap on numbers.

The steel case is unchanged at 37.5mm wide and 9.9mm thick, with a lug-to-lug of 45.5mm and 20mm between the lugs. Most of it is brushed, the double-stepped bezel is polished, and an AR-coated box-domed sapphire sits on top. Water resistance is 50 meters. The sapphire caseback is the big change to the case, and it's a good choice on a watch like this.

Three of the original dials stay: Como in blue denim, Chianti in a tweed-like weave and Portofino in turquoise green. Stelvio is new, a khaki green bamboo-cotton blend with sand and khaki threads, named for the Alpine pass. Bellagio uses the same blend in blue, silver and white. There is no date and no seconds hand, so nothing competes with the texture.

Inside is the Sellita SW210-1b, a manually wound Swiss calibre running at 4Hz with 48 hours of power reserve. Decoration is basic, sandblasted and brushed surfaces with a bit of polish. It’s a dependable choice rather than an exciting one, it looks good and now that we can see it, they could benefit from a higher grade with more decoration. Each dial gets its own matching Alcantara strap with a pin buckle and quick-release bars.

The Arsène Lippens Artigiano Ref 0599 goes on sale November 5 and orders will be open to November 11\. Delivery is expected before Christmas. Price is set at CHF 1,500, without taxes.
