Twins Hidden Treasure
Or When Harmony rhymes with Jewellery
In his altogether poetic and philosophical book « The Small Prince», Antoine de Saint- Exupery teaches us with great humility that we only see rightly with the heart, what matters is invisible to the eyes.
|
What could it mean seeing with our heart rather than with our eyes?
To try to grasp this « oddness », why don't you come to admire the « Fine Watchmaking » creation of Michel Jordi, the TWINS « HIDDEN TREASURE ».
The irresistible appeal prompted by this piece at first sight, the emotional exchange building up between yourself and this watchmaking masterpiece, leaving reason completely aside, all this is indeed seeing with the heart.
Its secret ? Duality.
Also known as the principle of balance or else Yin and Yang, this duality first emerges from the design.
Indeed, the TWINS is the only watchmaking piece in the world built up of two watches unwinding like a fan thanks to its ingenious patented opening: the TWIST LOCK SYTEM.
The upper case indicates hours, minutes, small seconds, date, moon phase and power reserve (42 hours).
The lower case indicates a second time zone on the smallest hand-winding single pusher chronograph in the world.
Duality also comes from the choice of diamonds.
An endless whirling between shadow and light, the communion of black and white is given preference on the upper case. Complementary and indissociable, black and white blend to give rise to a key piece full of emotions. Totalling 216 diamonds (72 white diamonds and 144 black diamonds for more than 4 carats) rendering one of the most exceptional colour (DEF) and quality (VVS), the TWINS HIDDEN TREASURE does have everything to surprise you.
As for the lower case, it is certainly not outdone by the upper one.
19 baguette diamonds...220 diamonds... amounting altogether to 2 carats with a colour (DEF) and a quality (VVS), which still satisfy the most demanding expectations.
The upper and lower dials form one single masterpiece.
Inseparable, the 2 watches tend towards perfection, a harmony within which there is nothing else to add or to withdraw...
In creating and making these exceptional pieces, MICHEL JORDI shows us how he conceives the art of « Fine Watchmaking».
