The Fratello × Minase M‑3 ‘Very‑Peri’ Limited Edition is a striking collaboration between Dutch watch publication Fratello Watches and Japanese independent manufacturer Minase, blending bold contemporary design with meticulous Japanese finishing.
Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, this special edition M-3 immediately stands out with its vibrant “Very-Peri” dial, a rich violet-blue tone inspired by the Pantone color of the year. The dial features Minase’s signature layered construction and sharp faceting, allowing the light to play dynamically across the surface while maintaining exceptional legibility.
The 39mm stainless steel case showcases Minase’s renowned Sallaz (Zaratsu-style) polishing, alternating mirror and brushed surfaces for a crisp, architectural presence on the wrist. The angular case design gives the watch a modern, sculptural profile while remaining highly wearable.
Inside beats a reliable Swiss automatic movement, offering the precision and dependability expected from Minase’s hybrid Japanese-Swiss approach to watchmaking.
Paired with a high-quality strap that complements the vivid dial, the Fratello × Minase M-3 ‘Very-Peri’ is both a conversation piece and a collectible collaboration—an uncommon model from a respected independent brand with extremely limited production.
