Founded in 1945, La Clessidra is the oldest Italian magazine dedicated to watchmaking. Originally launched as the bulletin of the Watchmakers’ Association, it has chronicled the technical, cultural, and stylistic evolution of the industry for eight decades—documenting trends, innovations, and key figures in the art of timekeeping. A trusted reference for enthusiasts and professionals alike, it has maintained an authoritative and inquisitive voice over the years, celebrating watchmaking as a true expression of craftsmanship and culture.
“To celebrate La Clessidra’s 80th anniversary, we wanted something more than just a symbolic gesture. We were looking for a brand being able to honor our past while also looking ahead to the future of Italian watchmaking. We found the perfect match in Venezianico—the youngest and most dynamic brand on the national scene, with a clear vision and strong identity. A brand that blends technical expertise, design, and culture. This limited edition was born from the meeting of two worlds: our legacy and their innovative drive. It’s a project that brings together the past, passion, and future of watchmaking in our country.”

Opal Dial
The aesthetic heart of the watch, the dial is crafted from lab-grown opal—a cutting-edge material developed by Japan’s Kyocera Corporation, a leader in synthetic crystal research. The iridescent surface of the opal plays dynamically with light, revealing shifting reflections of black and red—a clear tribute to La Clessidra’s iconic colors. Each dial is unique in its shades and depth, making every timepiece subtly one of a kind. A detail that blends innovation, symbolism, and collectible value.
Tungsten Insert
Tungsten is the hardest and most resistant metal known to mankind.
It has a melting point of 3400°C, which makes it the most heat resistant metal.Its resistance to wear is equally incredible. Tungsten is, in practice, scratchproof and therefore it maintains its physical and aesthetic features unchanged over the years.
Technical details
Our dive watch, water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters, takes its name from the Nereide submarine, a marvel of Venetian naval technology. This timepiece is engineered to endure strong stresses, making it particularly well-suited for water sports enthusiasts.
