Our Dream
"We collaborated with master watchmakers and Italian craftsmen to bring to life a project that marks a turning point for the brand: our first proprietary movement (patent no. 402025000000420), the expression of a more ambitious vision — contributing to the renaissance of Italian watchmaking."
Our First Italian Caliber
After more than two years of development, this project was born from a clear technical vision and the collaboration with some of the finest minds in Italian engineering. Every stage — from design to production — was carried out under our control. The architecture reimagines traditional watchmaking rules, introducing new proportions and functions. With bridges milled from solid metal, refined finishes, and an unprecedented level of precision in our movements, this movement marks a true evolution, being a statement of our ambition to share Italy’s technical excellence with the world.
Crafted by Atokalpa from a copper-beryllium alloy, this balance wheel is regulated using four masselottes — small peripheral weights that allow the inertia to be adjusted without changing the active length of the hairspring. Compared to traditional balance wheels with a regulator index, the variable inertia system enables more precise and stable regulation over time, minimizing the impact of shocks or positional changes on the watch’s accuracy. This type of balance wheel is typical of haute horlogerie, where long-term chronometric performance is a top priority.
In this system, the transmission of motion is divided into two separate branches: one dedicated to the seconds, the other to hours and minutes. This mechanical separation reduces interference between the gear trains, preventing the continuous motion of the seconds hand from affecting the consistency of the main timekeeping system. The result is greater running stability and more reliable long-term accuracy. A refined approach to movement construction, designed with precision as its highest priority.
KIF Parechoc is a Swiss company specializing in shock protection systems for mechanical movements. In V5000 caliber, we use the KIF Elastor, designed to safeguard the balance against sudden impacts. A star-shaped helical spring, placed around the jewel setting, absorbs the shock’s energy and get back the balance wheel to its optimal position. This compact system offers greater precision and stability compared to simpler alternatives, enhancing the movement’s durability even under dynamic conditions.
Carefully engineered to balance efficiency and practicality, the V5000 is featured by a 60-hours power reserve — well above the average for mechanical movements. This relevant interval allows the watch to maintain stable and accurate timekeeping even after several days of rest, eliminating the need for unnecessary adjustments or winding. It’s a power reserve designed to naturally adapt to different wearing habits, whether used daily or rotated with other timepieces, always ensuring readiness and consistent performance.

The Expertise of Berizzi, Technical Director at OISA
The V5000 was born from the meeting of complementary visions: the dream nurtured by Alberto and Alessandro Morelli, the design expertise of Andrea Menegazzo, and the technical experience of Fausto Berizzi. From this dialogue emerged the idea of a movement capable of fully embodying Venezianico’s mechanical and aesthetic identity. Berizzi, now Technical Director at OISA (a historic Italian movement manufacturer), gave concrete shape to this vision, drawing on a career that includes key roles at Frédéric Piguet, Lemania, and Vaucher. The result is a calibre that marks the beginning of a new phase for us—one in which we can fully express our vision of watchmaking.
"The utopia of creating an Italian caliber led us to look beyond and ask ourselves which of our watches could truly embody this new caliber. The answer was: it didn’t exist yet — so we had to create it."
V5000: The First Timepiece
Classic proportions, a reduced thickness (below 9 mm), and a 38 mm case designed for essential elegance. The multi-layered dial is hand-engraved using the Guilloché technique by Italy’s most renowned master of this rare art. The design reinterprets the codes of traditional watchmaking through a new vision of design and functionality. This project brings together the finest talents in Italian mechanics and craftsmanship, created to give shape to a watch that marks a significant milestone in the renaissance of Italian horology.
