Key Takeaways

  • Unique artistic dial inspired by a classic painting.
  • Limited edition of 200 pieces with Seiko NH35A movement.
  • Collaboration between IFLW and Venezianico combining art and modern design.

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.

Design and Ease of Use

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?
