When time is inspired by the freshness of fruit

In watchmaking, watches are often associated with pure metal, complex mechanisms, and rigorous design. However, watch design is first and foremost a matter of sensations, colors, and textures.

Through our latest Still Life photographic series, we wanted to take on a creative challenge: to create a dialogue between the elegance of our watches and the raw deliciousness of fruit.

Why does this unexpected marriage between fruit and timepieces work so well? Deciphering an encounter where time is savored with the eyes through four of our iconic collections.

The interplay of textures: Polished metal versus fruit skin

Watch photography constantly seeks to reveal the interplay of materials. Pairing a watch with a piece of fruit creates a striking interplay of tactile contrasts.

• Milanese knitwearHorizon Chronograph facing the melon's grain: The geometric braiding of the Strap The steel echoes the natural honeycomb pattern and rough relief of the bark.
• The rose gold PVD of the Monceau and of the Sully alongside the tangy pulp: The warm hues of Case Golden rose hues complement the deep juices of cherry or the sunny tones of apricot.

In this confrontation, the rigid structure of the watch component highlights the organic and living aspect of nature.

A palette of natural and vibrant colors

Rather than using synthetic studio backgrounds, incorporating fresh fruit allows for playing with a vibrant colorimetry that no artificial pigment can match.
