The shapes of time

Between simple shapes and play of perceptions, the maison continues its exploration of time.

Arceau<br />Cheval sirène

Description

The Arceau Cheval sirène features a dial adorned with a powerful creature, a chimera with the head of a horse and the tail of a mermaid. Engraved on mother-of-pearl, the animal comes to life thanks to the master engravers' skills. Creating a play on depth with chisels and burins, the artist completes the work by applying several layers of coloured paint.
