WATCHMAKING CREATIONS
Six architectures, two finishes, one hand.
Each watch leaves the Verviers workshop as a unique piece. The architectures are starting points – it is Roland’s chisel, the inlaid gold and the patience of the gesture that decide, at the end of the race, what will become of it.
BLOC I – THE ARCHITECTURES
Six faces, only one signature.
Leopold, Voltaire, Audace 40, Audace 34, Marquis, Viscount. Each model has its own temperament. None will leave the workshop twice identically.
ARCHITECTURE I
Leopold
The room that speaks low. Pure lines, acanth engraving that runs on the stature like an ancient writing. Leopold is the model where the gesture is seen without exposing itself – the watch that we look at for a long time before understanding everything it contains.
ARCHITECTURE II
Voltaire
Freer writing. Voltaire frees the motif from the classic codes – the drawing runs on the stature like a thought that can not be contained. The show of amateurs who like that an object has already chosen its side.
ARCHITECTURE III
Audace 40
Le cadran est désaxé, la gravure court sur l’extérieur de la carrure. Audace 40 propose une lecture singulière du temps — celle des objets qui refusent l’évidence. À porter pour qui considère que la symétrie est parfois une paresse.
ARCHITECTURE IV
Audace 34
The same offset architecture, in a more discreet format. Audace 34 is aimed at thin wrists and lovers of tight proportions – a refined rather than affirmed presence, but the gesture remains whole.
ARCHITECTURE V
Marquis
Affirmed elegance. Marquis is the piece that assumes – structured lines, presence on the wrist, patterns worked up to the central rosette. For those who like the watch to tell something clear, without asking for forgiveness for being there.
ARCHITECTURE VI
Vicomte
Confirmed character. Viscomte plays on wider shapes, more luxurious horns, rounded lines that give the wrist a denser seat. The room of those who have already chosen their place and hold it.
BLOC II - THE FINISHES
Two intentions, not two ranges.
Each of the six architectures can be treated in one of these two ways. They are not distinguished by their price but by the nature of the gesture they engage in.
I. Signature
Here, steel becomes the canvas. Chisell and shop, nothing else. The material is sculpted by retreat, the contrasts of shadow and light are born from the sole strength of the gesture.
Volutes d’acanthe, motifs Art Nouveau, armoiries héraldiques — chaque coup est une empreinte définitive. La pièce ne porte qu’une signature : celle de la main qui l’a faite.
II. Maître Graveur
Voorbij graveren, inleg. De damast opvallende massief gouden draden in het staal om een patroon te benadrukken of een contour vast te houden. Diamantzetting kan worden toegevoegd, wanneer het project het vereist.Plusieurs centaines d’heures d’atelier. Een afgewerkte reserve voor stukken die ze rechtvaardigen – voor hun ambitie, hun bestemming of hun verhaal.
The choice of a finish is never a question of range. It is a conversation that begins in the workshop, around the project and its coherence.
