Emmanuel Bouchet Source Ribbon Rose Gold Black

Source: a unique deconstruction of time is playfully animated through bejewelled elements jutting out from a concave backdrop draped with precious stones or mother-of-pearl.

The triangular pillars on Source Aleph and Source Ribbon models could also be seen as mountain peaks, or fir trees growing on the mountainsides. They represent the roots of timekeeping, and they symbolise the deconstruction of time. Two of them are moving so slowly that you can barely notice that they are moving at all. And yet they do – it is at this slow speed that all important changes and developments occur.
