Nice review of an affordable and intriguing watch. I’m a big fan of the Moser Vantablack but haven’t budgeted the additional $24,500 versus this option! I have a delightful steel Movado gray dial SE with only matching gray hour and minute hands. Similar in its very “directive versus precise” time-telling and the dial and aesthetics benefit from no quartz seconds hand interrupting the design. Plus the bracelet is wonderful.
Nice looking dress watch but with the crystal, you're more likely going to see reflections rather than the dial. It's an amazing material but it really only works with nothing in front of it. Most people will just see a black dial dress watch unless they examine it closely. A very nice gimmick all the same.
No redentore and nereida are freaking amazing line of Venezianico watches. This watch just needs Citizen Chronomaster AR coating to be a perfect watch because Chronomaster has by far the best and most insane AR coating on the market.
It's a nice looking watch, but I've seen some macro footage of pretty rough looking hands on one of these, so maybe they've cleaned up production since those batch. But $500 is steep for this watch, the Boldr Singularity is much better value. Also, the case back is woeful, it screams "I was made in the same factories as Pagani design et al" which kinda puts paid to all those Italian pretensions this watch has.
Yes, the brand is Staib. The one on this watch is the 20mm thick polished version with butterfly clasp (they make different widths, finishes, and clasps)
I got mine and I love it as is. However, I wouldn't mind if they use a selitta or miyota to shave off another 1 or 2mm of height. This means a new case design which means extra R&D cost!!! And while at it, get rid of the crown guards. Maybe a Redentore 2.0!
Haven't seen the singularity in person myself. They look pretty comparable from a specs perspective. Though for my wrists I would prefer the uncoated steel in the 40mm size as opposed to coated titanium in 38
I said this before elsewhere, but isn't this the single most obvious instance in which you'd actually want AR on the front as well as the back of the crystal? Did H Moser do that? Judging by the shots you edited in, they didn't. It's actually quite handsome, but a bit big and a bit thick. I quite like the case shape, but would definitely have been more interested with an overall more refined execution of this case shape. I do agree with your logic that a bracelet or Milanese is probably better to look at than black painted leather.
My experience with this watch has been great. I put it on the canova bracelet, and it looks money. It definitely is a conversation starter 🖤

Haha I thought you were quoting James Cameron for a minute
Nietzsche said that, not teddy.
I ordered mine today on the black leather strap, really in love with it. I’m going to be using it for funerals and special occasions
Pretty smart to accentuate the dial by removing the painted black strap. I like what you did!
Waiting for mine. Coming this month.
I get mine tomorrow. Nice idea to get it with a mesh bracelet: I think I will copy
I have it on the Venezianico steel bracelet. Looks great imo
Mesh also looks great. Gonna try that as well
Enjoy the watch!

Thank you Nizar, I appreciate you
this looks fantastic
Nice looking watch, thanks for sharing, Bruce 👍
You bet Scott
8 layer front and back A/R will reduce reflection to less than 1%
It's Movado Museum all over again.
Nice catch. Still a classic.

Venezianico is an AWESOME company.. I got the 36mm Sky blue Redentore for my wife.. Of course i had to pre order this model.. Excited to see in peron.
Nice gift! I wish my wife cared about watches lol
Seconded. I dealt with them for the Redentore 2.0 some years back.

they said its Made in Italy...but i think They made them in China ?!
Just bought one I love it it is amazing watch thanks your advice❤️🕺🏻
Negatives : lug to lug 48.00 mm ! , and Polish choice ! very shinny; I would prefer brush finish which will add more depth to the void ! .
That mark, almost thought it's a VC. Anyway, this is a nice watch.
Beautiful watch. I will order one, hopefully, I can be accommodated. Where did you get the strap? Kindly let me know. Thanks.
It's from Staib
@@FlorianGrau thanks so much!
Yes, the brand is Staib. The one on this watch is the 20mm thick polished version with butterfly clasp (they make different widths, finishes, and clasps)
Thats a beauty
Anish Kapoor is allowed to own this watch?
@Bruce Williams Cool Video! Where did you get the strap? TY
Can you please post the name of the bracelet company. Looks gorgeous. Thx!
He says it in the video, Staib.
Staib is the brand. 20mm polished with butterfly
What mesh bracelet is on the watch? It looking similar to the christopher ward version?
Staib is the grand. 20mm polished style with the butterfly clasp
Thanks!
Wow thank you! I really appreciate the tip. You are kind
They should've made the hand visible with either lume or brushed hands
No and no
Thought for a sec you were being serious!
I think for the price it should have contained the Miyota 9039.

I wonder if you can do an aventurine dial on something that dark
Just bought this watch, can I get some info about the mesh strap in this video? dunno how to spell
Can u please post a link to the bracelet u have?
what about this vs Boldr safari vogelkop?
Can you post a link to the bracelet?
Boldr singularity vs this one. Which one is better Bruce?
I'm very happy with my singularity
@@Horizontalvertigo I know. I had singularity as well. I just wonder how does it compare
Haven't seen the singularity in person myself. They look pretty comparable from a specs perspective. Though for my wrists I would prefer the uncoated steel in the 40mm size as opposed to coated titanium in 38
@@BruceWilliams thanks for your insight
The fear of loss is a path to the dark side. May the 4th be with you...
May the fourth be with you
I thought it was a Movado at first
thickness of watch?

looks like Movado ...just the logo is different
Too hard to tell the time. Looking into the void, when all you want is the time, would get old fast.
Movado?
