Venezianico reinterprets its diver watch with a special dial treated in 24-carat gold, paying tribute to Venetian craftsmanship that evokes the golden details of the Basilica of San Marco.

A symbol of the wealth and magnificence of the Serenissima Republic, Venetian craftsmanship has ancient roots, dating back to the Byzantine period when the lagoon city became a center of refined artistic production. Skilled artisans created extraordinary works using techniques passed down from generation to generation, as evidenced by the golden details of the Basilica of San Marco. This mastery in the use of gold adorned not only Venetian churches and palaces but also artifacts representing the power and grandeur of the Republic.

Embodying the values of “Venetianity,” the Morelli brothers today reinterpret their diver, the Nereide, with a 42mm case made of 316L steel, applying a special 24-carat gold-finished dial that recalls the ancient lamination of precious metals.

An emotional homage to the gilded inner walls of the Basilica of San Marco, covered with mosaics from the 9th and 13th centuries, made with colored and gilded glass tesserae depicting biblical scenes, saints, and geometric decorations, following a medieval technique that used thin gold leaf on glass, covering over 8,000 square meters of surface area.

The noble metal, whose craftsmanship made Venice famous over the centuries and requires uncommon artisanal skill, is presented on the dials of the Nereide Aureo with an extraordinary rippled finish that makes each model a unique piece. Each metal disc undergoes a tumbling process to achieve a surface with deliberate imperfections, followed by a galvanic treatment where it is immersed in an electrolytic solution containing pure gold particles.

The subsequent application of electric current allows the particles to deposit evenly on the surface of the disc, creating a durable and brilliant gold layer that, coated with transparent protective varnishes, is shielded from scratches, oxidation, and other damage, ensuring superior durability and resistance compared to traditional lamination methods, all to guarantee an impeccable and resilient surface.

The treatment offers the dial, enriched with baton indexes in Super-LumiNova® BGW9 for perfect night vision, not only the same aesthetic quality as lamination but also superior resistance and uniformity over time. Everything is perfectly harmonized under high-quality sapphire glass, with the unidirectional bezel in polished tungsten, one of the hardest materials in the world.

To count hours, minutes, and seconds, within the elegant and satin-finished case lines, there is the Swiss precision of the Sellita SW200 movement, while the case back pays homage, through engraving, to the majesty of the main nave of the Basilica of San Marco, with its walls adorned with gold leaf, simultaneously celebrating the rich artisanal tradition of Venetian goldbeaters.

The watch is completed by a new bracelet inspired by the works of Renaissance sculptor Jacopo Sansovino, known for his mastery and attention to detail. Composed of five links, two polished and three satin-finished, the Sansovino Bracelet, through a solid deployant clasp with dual finish and micro-adjustment, ensures a comfortable and secure fit, ideal for diving enthusiasts and those who love the perfect balance between elegance and sportiness.

LYRIQUE – ETUDE N°2 Guilloche Edition

LYRIQUE® ÉTUDE2 Guilloché Burgundy Dial 2024

 The road to Custom Exceptional Horology

An international group of watch patrons banded together to create the Lyrique Group. We work directly with top watchmakers and designers to create watches reflecting the finest tradition of Swiss watchmaking. We support the development of new and creative watches, movements and techniques grounded in the craftsmanship developed over the centuries.

By supporting and expanding the works of exceptional horology, we create the kinds of watches available through the combined resources of the group that would not otherwise be available to its members. In turn, Lyrique creates watches for an entire group of those who value exceptional Swiss horology heretofore unserved. We support the Horological Society of New York by donating a new watch for their auction to raise scholarship funds for watchmaking students.

Adding Architectural Depth

Étude N°2 Guilloché adds depth to Lyrique’s original watch by teaming with the guilloché masters of Comblémine, SA

Using an original design by Matthieu Allègre, the dial is a swirl of Burgundy wine in a crystal glass surrounded by chandeliers and candles. The brushed sides of the Voutilainen & Cattin case underscore the polished teardrop tipped belt securing the straps. The ring defining the eccentric seconds terminates in a scorpion’s kiss on the cheek of the 8.

The brushed hour chapter ring serves as a base for the raised applied Arabic numbers. The sub-dial at eighty-thirty integrates the center guilloché with the side of the dial crossed by the Fiedler observatorie hands. A hand-made ostrich strap by Protexo and buckle by Boucledor completes the Étude N°2’s design. Sébastien Monney and associates of M.A.D’E GVA, Sarl assembles each watch.

Movement

A hand-made movement, the AGH-6802 by Agenhor, is an updated version of the AGH-6801 used in Lyrique Étude N° 1. 👇

Included in the update are a Straumann® Hairspring, a balance wheel designed by Agenhor and produced by Precision Engineering AG, improved balance wheel bridge to guarantee a better strength in the long term, and modified base plates to provide more security around the anchor.

The AGH-6802 retains the AgenEse® gear for the smooth movement of the eccentric second hand, and the AgenPit® regulator eases adjusting the hairspring without using collets nor a regulation lever. The AgenPit® regulator adjusts both the frequency and beat of the balance.

Operating at 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, the AGH-6802 provides an unhurried and accurate timekeeping. As a hand-wound movement, the winding gears through the keyless works is remarkable for how smooth the crown winds the mainspring to the full 40 hours.
