Definitely not under a grand, and I think they "borrowed" a bit too much in earlier issues, but this looks different

They have really nice things with an outstanding finishing level. I own this one, "borrowed" from Patek. So don't blame the Chinese anymore, please ;)

Still, it's a Swiss brand, which is not (always) Swiss made, which may question their price level.

Venezianico has come with much more original models than ever IMO.
I do love these ones especially.

I like the case shape of that Redentore a lot.
My only grudge is with the brand's name, a distorted, inexistent and grammatically incorrect italian word.... it smells of dropship brand. Which is a pity, since the logo works and the quality seems to be ok. The name though is to me a misstep as CW's logo was

Strange, all the more as the company is really italian.
They switched their name from Meccaniche Veneziane to Venezianico.
Probably to make it easier to pronounce.
Maybe Jaeger Lecoultre should take example...

From my French point of view, I'm not disturbed neither by the meaning nor the pronounciation.

But I understand your point of view : how many brands (especially chinese) have odd names...

I seems Google translates venezianico by "venitian". I'm fine with this meaning :)

And it can serve as a tip when I'll visit the City.

I know everyone like smaller watches, but I'm a bigger guy, so I really wish that salmon dial baltic was a tad bigger...anyone know of any other alternatives? I looked around for a bit but didn't find anything to my liking.

Except...this salmon dial Orient, which Unfortunately I can't find anywhere because it was limited edition.
