Pocket Watch

Faced with the challenge of creating a timeless object, the most natural choice, turned out to be the creation of a pocket watch.

Although our era is dominated by smartphones and smartwatches, relegating the pocket watch to a pleasant anachronism, its charm remains universally recognizable. The mere sight of it immediately evokes vivid scenarios: from the dusty atmospheres of western films to the dark plots of gangster movies, to the fond memory of an old relative, as in my personal case: I distinctly remember my grandfather who always carried one with him, a witness of an era now gone by.

In order to shape it into its purest and most complete round shape, I had to increase the scale a little. This led to the creation of a set of considerable dimensions, with a final diameter of 25 cm. However, this increase in scale has resulted in a model that is both detailed and robust.

The watch is made up of 1147, the chain 113 pieces, for a total of 1260.
