From the glow of the furnaces Venetian

It is said that in the 17th century, the name "avventurina" derives from "avventura," referring to a fortuitous discovery. Venetian glassmakers discovered it by accident, pouring copper fragments into a blue vitreous paste. The result was a brilliant, iridescent glass that became a symbol of Venetian craftsmanship and spread throughout Europe. Today, this tradition lives on in Venetian furnaces, where fire and ingenuity transform the material into unique creations. We have reinterpreted this art in our watches, breathing new life into aventurine on the dials, where depth and reflections evoke the charm of ancient Venetian craftsmanship.
