Famed Watchmaker to Visit Little Treasury Jewelers

By Allie Aylward

For his first appearance at a U.S. retailer, watchmaker Riccardo Zannetti will visit Little Treasury Jewelers in Gambrills for an event in his honor on Sept. 4 from 2 to 8 p.m.

Zannetti will display his collection of fine-crafted watches, and demonstrate his watchmaking techniques by sketching custom dial designs, according to a press release from Little Treasury

Riccardo Zannetti owns the illustrious Italian timepiece company, Zannetti Handmade Watches, which is distinguished by the traditional techniques used in their modernized workshop in Via Monte d’Oro. Continuing a 500-year-old tradition, the designer uses classic engraving techniques and micromosaics in his watches, both of which allow Zannetti to create intricately detailed designs.

Following Thursday’s demonstration with Zannetti, Little Treasury Jewelers invites guests to a reception with Italian wine and hors d’oeuvres from 6 to 8 p.m. More information about this and future events can be found here on their website.
