IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca Review

We know IFL Watches as a brand renowned for modern, hand-painted dials, often inspired by vibrant street art.

But what happens when IFLW artists are invited to embrace a more classic style? Venezianico is a proud Italian brand that emphasizes its Venetian roots in every release. In this official collaboration between the two brands, we see unexpected results - especially when IFLW artists reinterpret the classic work of famed Italian painter Hermann David Solomon Corrodi. The result is the IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca model, which will attract attention for many reasons. Let's explore it in detail!

History of the IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca

When I first saw the IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca, a smile immediately appeared on my face. The watch world has long been familiar with erotic themes. Brands like Blancpain and Ulysse Nardin have become famous for watches with erotic images or even automata depicting playful scenes on the dial. In their new model, IFL Watches created a special dial reinterpreting the famous work of Hermann David Solomon Corrodi. The Italian artist, who worked in the second half of the 19th century, is known as a master of landscapes and Orientalist plots. However, his painting 'Ladies of the Harem Bathing' stands out among his other works.

The painting is a vivid example of the fetishization of 'exoticism' by European artists of the 19th century, such as Corrodi, Jean-Leon Gerome, and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. These voyeuristic works depict imaginary scenes rather than historical realities. For the new model's dial, IFLW artists chose the central part of 'Ladies of the Harem', depicting women bathing in a water garden. In the background is a Moorish castle with palm trees, lush greenery, and deep reflections in the water.

Features of the Redentore L’Odalisca Artistic Dial

The Redentore L’Odalisca dial is a miniature painting focused on the bathing ladies. It creates a vibrant and richly colored dial that pays homage to the romantic view of European artists in the second half of the 19th century. The canvas for this classic piece is the Venezianico Redentore model. The modern watches of the Venetian brand are perfectly suited to embody such an artistic concept.

The stainless steel case with matte and polished finishing gives the watch a modern and elegant look. The dauphine hands contrast well with the rich artistic dial, ensuring good readability of the time. However, the question arises: will the owners of these watches frequently check the time on such an expressive dial, or will they enjoy the image itself?

The automatic Seiko NH35A movement is known for its reliability and ease of use. It features a hacking seconds function and manual winding capability, allowing for precise time setting.

Final Assessment of the IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca

This model is an interesting and unusual choice for IFL Watches, going beyond the brand's usual style. The use of a classic work of art combined with the modern design of the Venezianico Redentore watch creates a harmonious and expressive product. The IFLW × Venezianico Redentore L’Odalisca is a successful example of the fruitful collaboration between two brands, offering collectors not only technical quality but also cultural value.

A total of 200 pieces of the Redentore L’Odalisca will be released. They are available for order starting today at 4:00 PM Central European Summer Time (CEST) on the official IFL Watches website for €1,190 / US$1,190 / £990.
