The Baroque-influenced neoclassical style of Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II expresses all the sophistication inherent to Italian architectural tradition. It was from these refined, rounded forms that Mido drew its inspiration for the Baroncelli. The subtle references to this prestigious building and its harmonious curves bestow both a rare sense of elegance and a resolutely timeless style on this iconic collection, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2016.

The two new Baroncelli Heritage models are the latest additions to a line characterised by its thin cases, which make it one of the thinnest and lightest timepieces on the market. Designed in pairs - a cherished Mido tradition - the Baroncelli Heritage was launched in 2016. The new 2017 arrivals are distinguished by their sumptuous white and grained dials, which reveal polished applied Roman numerals around their edge. These details further emphasise the classic style and timeless elegance of the two models. They also feature a magnificent round polished steel case with rose PVD treatment.

The dial features the Baroncelli Heritage signature at 6 o'clock, while the date can be read in a window at 3 o'clock. The hour and minute hands are double-sided, with one side sandblasted and the other diamond-cut. The seconds hand, meanwhile, is diamond-cut. These hands can be admired through the sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides that protects the dial. These two new light, graceful models echo vertical dancing and the dancers' bodies as they enhance the architecture.
