Venezianico Nereide Black Avventurina NERA 39mm Extremely Thin Caliber V3250

New caliber V3250 from the Venezianico Nereide Black Avventurina NERA

Manufactured in the Swiss factories of Soprod SA, the V3250 is an automatic movement based on the architecture of the M100 caliber. Theelaborate skeletonization of the new rhodium-plated rotor, which brings out the details of the movement even better, contrasts with thesandblasted bridges that make the V3250 a movement with arefined and modern aesthetic.

High-precision

The Caliber V3250 comes to our laboratory, where it is subjected to further regulation to improve its precision. The movement is set to a range of -4/+6 seconds per day and thus achieves a very high level of performance that exceeds the Complies with Haute Horlogerie standards.

processing techniques

Aventurine is a difficult material to work with because the copper crystals are introduced into the molten glass and distributed evenly during the slow cooling process become. In order to produce components with a high level of precision, aventurine is cold-ground like a hard stone. Today, the production of this material is very limited due to its complexity and the required know-how.

The deep black of the aventurine, speckled with a constellation of tiny fragments of light, is reminiscent of the dense mystery of the stars span> and the darkness of the cosmos. The construction of the dial is completed by bar-shaped indices filled with the Swiss luminous pigment Super-LumiNova® BGW9 .

The History of Aventurine

It is said that the name "Aventurine" in the 14th century from the term "adventure" derived which indicates an uncertain and risky undertaking. In fact, the Venetian glassmakers who were the first to make aventurine did so accidentally by spilling copper shards into a blue glass mass. From 1644 onwards, the processing technique was codified, and Venetian aventurine artefacts soon became the most valuable of the era. The lithograph shows a visit by the Doge to the workshops on the island of Burano, the production area for this glass.
