dear designboom reader,

timepiece designs fusing the art of watchmaking and creative styles unfold at watches & wonders 2023, one of the most awaited international watchmaking and jewelry shows. van cleef & arpels reimagines the planetarium as a subliminal clock covered in iridescent gemstones, from diamonds and moonstones to agate and chrysocolla.

such a sense of wonder also lends its aura to hermès as it exhibits its timepiece collection through the allure of floating and rotating kinetic sculptures. bulgari fixates its gaze on artisanal techniques too that seamlessly echo sculptural watchmaking with the debut of its centered tourbillons.

thanks for reading!
