Venezianico Nereide Malachite 4521544S

A Unique Gift of Nature

To Redentore Bronzo

Malachite is a true natural wonder, formed by the chemical reaction of mineral-rich water with copper deposits. This process creates the characteristic patterns that make each piece of malachite unique. In nature, it is found in compact, botryoidal, or stalactitic forms, displaying a fascinating palette of green hues – from delicate light nuances to deep emerald green. The concentric and wavy patterns are an impressive testament to Earth's creative power, transforming minerals into true works of art.

Unrivaled Durability with Tungsten

The bezel made of tungsten stands for maximum resistance and longevity. As the hardest metal in the world, tungsten has an exceptionally high melting point of 3400°C and is almost scratch-proof. This combination of heat resistance and robustness ensures that the bezel retains its aesthetic and functional properties for years. Thus, it is the perfect choice for demanding conditions and elegant design.

The History of Nature on Your Wrist

A dial made of malachite combines the raw beauty of nature with timeless elegance. Every glance at the dial reveals a millennia-old history of chemical transformations, slow mineral deposits, and geological art. The unique green patterns invite you to delve into the creativity of the Earth, which creates mineral formations with exceptional precision and elegance.

Precise Craftsmanship of the Dial

The production of a malachite dial requires the utmost care and precise craftsmanship. The core of the process lies in the fine cutting of a malachite plate, often only 0.4 mm thin. This is a demanding task, as the natural sensitivity of the stone requires particular caution to avoid chipping. After cutting, the dial is carefully assembled by experienced artisans to perfectly showcase malachite's distinctive natural design.

The Sansovino Bracelet

The Nereide Malachite is complemented by our Sansovino bracelet, inspired by the curved and noble forms of the Renaissance. With five links – two polished and three matte – the bracelet combines elegance and durability in a timeless design. The robust clasp with double finish and micro-adjustment ensures a secure and comfortable fit. Whether diving or in everyday life, this bracelet offers both style and comfort.

Echo from the Deep

The heart of the case back is an engraving of the Nereide, a submarine that inspired the entire collection. The depiction shows the submarine in motion underwater and recalls the watch's exceptional performance: Water resistance up to 200 meters and a rotating bezel for dive time tracking make it the ideal companion for adventures above and below water.
