The rotational mechanism of the revolver clasp, which was designed for security, can be managed one-handed with practice, though it requires more deliberate action than a push-button release.
Origin Story
A cameo from Torre del Greco carries a specific weight of origin: the town on the Bay of Naples, in operation as the world center of coral and shell carving for more than three hundred years. It's here where the relief portraits and mythological scenes that define the craft were, and still are, made.

The concealed bail was, in part, the industry's answer to its own evolving standards.
