Source of Inspiration
The idea took shape by observing how the metals of Venice change over the years. Copper and brass, exposed to the lagoon air, gradually develop the characteristic verdigris patina, with shades of green and turquoise. This natural phenomenon became the inspiration for the project: to transfer those same nuances and materiality to the Nereide dial.
Transformation of Material
The Nereide Verdigris dial is created from a brass base. Through a handcrafted process of controlled oxidation and flaming, the surface develops its characteristic patina, rich in texture and color variations. Each plate reacts slightly differently, generating unpredictable patterns that make each dial unique.
The Colors of Venice
Copper domes, statues, and architectural details slowly change over the years, developing the green and turquoise hues that characterize the city’s landscape. These nuances, born of time and the elements, constantly become a source of inspiration for our creations.
