At this year’s Dubai Watch Week, Ingenieux—Marco Mavilla’s high-horology brand—captured significant attention with a presentation that blended nostalgia, artistry, and mechanical prowess. Instead of a traditional showcase, the brand chose the refined setting of Maison Luxe in Dubai Mall, where collectors and journalists experienced the unveiling of two new limited editions: the Fittipaldi and the StarMoon Goldberger.

For Marco Mavilla, the evening underscored Ingenieux’s philosophy: narratives told through mechanical art. Known for reshaping the fashion-watch landscape with ToyWatch in the 2000s, Mavilla now extends his creative language into the realm of haute horlogerie.

Rather than starting with classical watchmaking, Ingenieux opened with adrenaline. The Fittipaldi chronograph, a 37 mm model in 18-carat yellow gold, revisits the iconic black-and-gold palette associated with Emerson Fittipaldi’s famed 1972 Formula 1 triumph. A tropical black dial, enamel tachymeter bezel, and a vintage Valjoux 726 movement from the 1970s anchor the design in motorsport heritage. With only 72 pieces planned, each individually numbered and engraved, the watch drew immediate admiration—especially with Fittipaldi himself present to endorse the tribute.
