Challenge
Reveal the geometric forms, steel reflections and black dial without erasing the marks that give this watch its vintage character.
Solution
A restrained series alternating white, black and textured leather backgrounds, with complete views and close details that tell the story of the material.
Process
Creation of several lighting moods, precise compositions around the case, bracelet and crown, followed by measured retouching that preserves the textures and imperfections of the watch.
Steel, light and time
This personal project explores the contrast between the graphic geometry of the watch and the traces of its history. Light shapes the volumes, reveals the steel reflections and preserves the patina that makes every detail unique.
Materials observed up close
The close views connect the black dial, engraved crown, polished surfaces and leather. Retouching remains discreet so the scratches and irregularities continue to express the life of the watch.
