Echo/Neutra Combines Brutalism And Compact Elegance To Create The Rivanera Piccolo
The Rivanera Piccolo from Echo/Neutra showcases a refined blend of brutalism and compact elegance, effectively addressing the challenges of size and proportion found in its predecessor. With a grade 5 titanium case measuring 26mm wide and 33mm lug-to-lug, it presents a more conventional fit while maintaining a striking design. The sandblasted exterior, angular features, and dark anthracite hue enhance its modern appeal, complemented by dials that feature either a "Grain de Riz" guilloche pattern or a striking Musou Black finish that absorbs 99.4% of light. Equipped with the Sellita SW1000 automatic movement, the Rivanera Piccolo offers a 46-hour power reserve and wears comfortably on the wrist, making it suitable for both dressy and casual occasions. Priced at $1,980, it occupies a competitive space among microbrands while delivering a unique aesthetic that differentiates it from traditional round watches. The combination of a rubber strap and a leather option adds versatility, ensuring it can cater to various styles and preferences, while still appealing to those who favor a minimalist and distinctive timepiece.
