VENEZIANICO TAKES A GIANT LEAP FORWARD: THE V5000 CALIBER AND THE REDENTORE UTOPIA TIMEPIECE

THE DREAM OF A “MADE IN ITALY” MOVEMENT COMES TRUE 

Born from a collaboration with masters of Italian watchmaking and craftsmanship, Alberto and Alessandro Morelli have brought the V5000 caliber to life: a groundbreaking project for the brand and a new chapter in the renaissance of Italian horology. The first watch to house it: the Redentore Utopia.

Venezianico unveils its first Italian-made movement, the V5000—an achievement resulting from over two years of development, driven by a clear technical vision and a partnership with some of Italy’s finest mechanical talents.

Its design reinterprets the codes of classical watchmaking through a new lens of balance, proportion, and function, featuring bridges machined from solid metal, refined finishes, and an unprecedented level of accuracy for the brand.

This project marks a transformative evolution, elevating the brand exponentially while embodying a firm commitment to championing Italian technical excellence on the global stage.

The V5000 was born from continuous dialogue with the growing Venezianico community—years of listening and engagement transformed wishes and expectations into a clear vision of what the “ideal caliber” should be.

"The dream of creating an Italian-made movement made us look further, questioning which of our timepieces could truly honor this new caliber. The answer was none—so we had to create one," says Alberto Morelli, CEO of the San Donà di Piave-based company.

A pivotal encounter with Fausto Berizzi, technical director of OISA and a storied figure in Italian watchmaking—with past roles at Frédéric Piguet, Lemania, and Vaucher Manufacture—proved invaluable. His experience with some of Switzerland's top manufactures was instrumental in the development of the V5000.
