The earliest evidence of mankind's decorative marks on talismans and weapons can be found in the Serengeti Plains, dating back to 500,000 years ago. It is in the regressive simplicity of engraving a surface with a burin, as a means to express inchoate thoughts, to uncover the expressive visions buried under the subconscious, and to express one's Freudian Id, that engraving resonates the most.
Since the beginning of the Swiss watchmaking industry, engraving is inextricably tied to the art of watchmaking. The engraving techniques used can be simple, such as initials on a case or elaborate like filigree and chased techniques. Guilloche, the art of hand-engraving massive gold dials in mimetic patterns that are used both in Anglo-Saxon architecture and Neo-Classical art, is a form of engraving. Engraving and enameling are celebrated together in the arts of flinque (which involves painting translucent enamel on an engraved surface) or champleve (replica watches).
Although I am a great admirer of the traditional art of engraving, many of its techniques are rooted in a classist and retrograde world. In contrast, I have always wanted to give this art form a new and powerful relevance by relating it with today's visual identity and iconography. I wanted to change engraving's perception from being ornate and feminine (let's be honest) to something more aggressive, visceral and even aggressively male. After a chance meeting on Instagram with Johnny Dowell, aka King Nerd - a former master engraving at Purdey - my perception of engraving was transformed.
Johnny's art reflects the same desire for both respecting his craft while defining a new language that evokes Japanese manga, Marvel, DC Comics, tattoo iconography, and even the martial arts film culture. I saw two worlds colliding in him: the iconoclast, rebel and the devoted artist. And I knew that I had to translate his art onto the canvas of one of my favorite mechanical timepieces by creating a unique series of Revolution pieces with him.
I was immediately drawn to Tag Heuer Replica Watches,Replica Richard Mille because the intellectual and philosophical alignment of the brand with Dowell's work. Felix Baumgartner, Martin Frei and their brand were created with the same goal as Dowell: to respect the craft of watchmaking and to advance the story. They also wanted to contribute to the evolution of the industry by designing watches for today's audience. Baumgartner says, "My dad was a watchmaker." His father was also a watchmaker. I respected them, but I didn't want to do what they did. I noticed that most brands were happy to repeat the past. Ninety nine percent of the watches on the market today are miniatures of 200-year-old complications. We wanted to invent a brand-new complication. We wanted to improve horology. We wanted to redefine time. When I first met Felix Baumgartner and looked into his seductive sapphire-canopied engine of fire, the UR-103.03 I knew I was witnessing a new chapter of horology. Tag Heuer Replica Watches timepieces reveal the passage of time by using a system orbital hour satellites which traverse a minute track fixed on the bottom of the case. The system has ancient roots. The end result is totally modern.
