Riva runabout

“The sound of the engines, the wood, the beautiful sweep of the hull, the performance,” he says, listing the attributes.Ĭarlo Riva’s creation is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its launch in August. Galassi, who had wanted an Aquarama as a child, believes that the Aquarama is the most perfect design ever. We didn’t find any big seas running around Lake Iseo, but the lake, with mountains in the distance, was a perfect backdrop to this 52-year-old beauty. The hull had been designed for ocean running-after Riva had been chided by a longtime friend for building “lake boats.” And the side throttles were also modeled on a car to make it more intuitive for new owners who were not necessarily boaters. The oversized steering wheel felt perfect for a boat that would’ve been compared to a Cadillac or Lincoln in its day. The hand-built wooden hulls were built on a production line like cars for quality control and timely delivery.Īt the dock, Gala had a stately presence, with pinstripes on the light-colored mahogany foredeck, a beautiful reddish-tinted hull, gleaming chrome, and a wraparound automotive-style windshield which was radical for the day. Riva had decided early on to model the Aquarama after the finest luxury cars with throaty American marine engines ( Gala had twin 320 hp Rivas, which were modified Crusaders). Unlike most boats, the helm is on the left side. Owned by Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi, Gala was a stunning wooden boat, with ivory-colored upholstery, a Calax-style steering wheel inspired by a 1958 Chrysler 300, and side throttles.

In 1988, up-and-coming independent family-run brand Frederique Constant was established in Geneva, the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry. At the same time, the RHS (Riva Historical Society) was set up in Italy in a bid to celebrate the dolce vita by safeguarding one of its most famous boats. This legendary yacht, initially hand-crafted entirely from wood, embodied the inimitable, easy-going elegance of 1960s Italy. Frederique Constant Runabout Automatic A company devoted to measuring time, and an association dedicated to the art of drifting through the waves, both united in their vision of upholding workmanship, beauty, and attention to detail, destined to be carried on the tides of time for centuries on end as custodians of the same timeless elegance and burning passion. A transalpine bond was forged between Lake Geneva in Switzerland and Italy’s Lake Iseo, uniting the two entities since 2013 in a relationship that has buoyed Frederique Constant’s Runabout collection ever since: a line first launched in 2009 in tribute to the famous runabout boats. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgAX_rjLTZI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Boat of the Week: Why the Classic Riva Aquarama Is Still the the Most Beautiful Runabout Ever Made

[notiziariofinanziario]

Il Motoscafo elettrico di Riva si è già conquistato la copertina del Boot Düsseldorf

Il debutto ufficiale del Riva El-Iseo è stato un evento nell'evento fieristico. Niente di strano: parliamo del primo motoscafo elettrico del brand di Sarnico (sul lago di Iseo, da qui il nome della barca con il prefisso El che sta per elettrico) che ha fatto la storia della nautica. Per il gruppo Ferretti che possiede Riva, il runabout da 27 piedi a zero emissioni - disegnato da Officina Italiana Design - inaugura il nuovo segmento E-Luxury che vuole portare tutte le caratteristiche del marchio. L'avvocato Alberto Galassi, amministratore delegato del Gruppo Ferretti, ha presentato il nuovo gioiello proprio a Dusseldorf. "Riva El-Iseo è la prima barca full electric in assoluto a ricevere una certificazione dal Rina (il Registro italiano navale, ndr) che ne ha accertato la sicurezza e l’affidabilità - ha detto - in un anno e mezzo, abbiamo svolto esami sul prototipo in ogni ambiente e in ogni condizione possibile. La scorsa estate, ha anche partecipato alla Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, una gara di durata riservata a modelli elettrici".  Read the full article

Each piece will be presented in a special case containing a miniature replica of one of these iconic wooden yachts moored alongside the watch. Its movement is visible for all to admire thanks to a sapphire background that offers up a glimpse of the watch’s intimate workings, engraved with the RHS (Riva Historical Society) logo. The rose gold-plated version, meanwhile, is fitted with a navy blue strap embellished with off-white topstitching.īoth feature FC-303 calibre, giving these two new twists on the Runabout Automatic 38 hours of power reserve. The hands match the chosen casing, either rose gold-plated or stainless steel, with the latter featuring a turquoise blue seconds hand in a nod to the Runabout collection’s sea-inspired feel - a shade reiterated in the topstitching on the stainless steel version’s blue-grey leather strap. To the same end, the sword-style hour and minute hands are shot through with luminous matter to enable the wearer to continue sailing long after the summer sun has dipped below the horizon. Each hour index is applied, lending the dial depth while improving readability. The Runabout collection stands out with its large even-number Arabic numeral indices complete with five-minute markers on the inner-bezel. Its lines and contours, meanwhile, reflect Frederique Constant’s modern aesthetic. The Runabout Automatic’s central guilloché pattern set over a silver or black background allows it to capture each ray of light, imbuing the watch face with a shifting sense of texture. Guilloché designs were originally intended to be both decorative and practical, lending texture to overly smooth surfaces as well as boosting readability, with each micro groove serving to temper glare and reflections from direct light. The Runabout Automatic offers a fresh take on a dial embellished with a delicate Clous de Paris guilloché pattern. The watch face epitomises the finest of Geneva watchmaking tradition, spliced through with an assertively modern feel. This resolutely contemporary design features a 42 mm-diameter dial, and is suitable for both men and women seeking masterful precision in time-keeping. This year, Frederique Constant is releasing two new limited editions of its Runabout Automatic timepiece in 888 units.

Frédérique Constant und die Riva Historical Society stechen wieder in See ☀️🚤⌚️

Vor mehr als 30 Jahren, 1988, wurde in der Uhrenmetropole Genf, ein neues, junges Familienunternehmen gegründet. Zur gleichen Zeit gründete man an der italienischen Riviera einen Verein, der einem der schönsten Vertreter des Dolce Vita gewidmet ist: der berühmten Motoryacht Riva. Diese legendären, ursprünglich vollständig von Hand gefertigten Holzboote verkörpern die luxuriöse italienische Lebensfreude der 1920er bis 1960er Jahre. 2009 ging Frederique Constant mit dem Verein eine Partnerschaft ein, die bis heute ununterbrochen Bestand hat. Ihr entsprang unter anderem die sportliche Kollektion Runabout. Dieses Jahr präsentiert Frederique Constant als Hommage an diese Partnerschaft sein neues Modell Runabout RHS Chronograph Automatic, das in zwei limitierten Editionen von je 2.888 Exemplaren herausgebracht wird. 👍Jetzt den ganzen Artikel auf Fashionpaper lesen: https://www.fashionpaper.ch/lifestyle/frederique-constant-und-die-riva-historical-society-stechen-wieder-in-see/

The Riva Aquarama is a luxury wooden runabout built by Italian yachtbuilder Riva. Production of it and its derivatives (the Lungo, Super, and Special) ran from 1962 until 1996. The hull was based on the Riva Tritone, an earlier model speedboat by Riva, which in turn was inspired by the American mahogany Chris-Craft runabouts. The boat's speed, beauty, and craftsmanship earned it praise as the Ferrari of the boat world.[1] The company was founded by Pietro Riva in 1842, and run by Carlo Riva through its 1969 sale to the American Whittaker Corporation.
