Inspired by the legendary Horses of St. Mark, the Redentore Bronzo celebrates Venetian art and tradition through the craftsmanship of a material steeped in history. The handcrafted dial features a weathered finish that enhances its character, while the Italian leather strap, with its brushed surface, echoes the textured aesthetic of bronze, completing the watch with an authentic and refined style.
The Art of Bronze: Between History and Innovation
For centuries, bronze has been part of Venetian history, from the Horses of St. Mark to the many blacksmith workshops that have passed down the art of metal casting and craftsmanship. Venice has long been a center of excellence in this field, with artisans capable of transforming bronze into refined and enduring works. This legacy comes to life in the Redentore Bronzo, where each case is cast from a mold and meticulously hand-finished, highlighting the unique qualities of a material that carries centuries of tradition.
The Legend of the Horses of St. Mark
The Redentore Bronzo draws inspiration from the magnificence of the Horses of St. Mark, symbols of power and prosperity in Venice. These bronze horses, originally forged in ancient Greece, found their home atop St. Mark’s Basilica in the 13th century, telling a story of conquest and the city's grandeur. The art of bronze craftsmanship, an integral part of Venetian know-how, is honored in this special edition of the Redentore, blending the majesty of the past with contemporary artisanal mastery.
A Dial with a Timeless Soul
The Redentore Bronzo dial is crafted through an artisanal process that enhances its depth and identity. Made from a soft brass alloy, it is first polished to achieve a brilliant surface, then satin-finished to soften its reflections, and finally bronzed to give it a vintage-inspired, timeworn appearance. Artisans then apply targeted abrasions, subtly revealing the underlying metal and recreating the natural aging process. The result is an authentic dial where every detail tells the story of the interplay between material and time.
Harmony in just 10mm thickness
With a slim 10mm profile, the Redentore Bronzo combines elegance and wrist comfort. This is made possible by the Miyota 9039 movement, a high-beat automatic caliber that ensures precision and reliability within a thinner, well-balanced case. Beyond improved ergonomics, the refined finishing elevates the watch’s character, enhancing the distinctive appeal of bronze and giving it a sophisticated, harmonious aesthetic.
Venetian Art engraved on the Caseback
The Redentore Bronzo features a 316L stainless steel caseback, secured with six screws— a choice that prevents the bronze patina from coming into contact with the skin while ensuring long-lasting durability. The engraving draws inspiration from the iconic Horses of St. Mark, a symbol of Venetian art and heritage. A combination of sandblasted and radial satin finishes enhances the intricate details, giving the caseback a refined and distinctive appearance.
