JARDIN DES AIGUILLES
Garden of Needles is an installation inspired by nature, like flowers that gently follow the sun. In this project, watch hands move softly, following the path of a drawing robot arm (called an Axidraw) that moves above them with a magnet.
The movement creates a kind of slow, graceful dance, combining the precision of machines with the random beauty of nature. Even though time is something we often measure mechanically, this piece reminds us that everyone feels and experiences time differently.
It’s a balance between technology and nature, between control and spontaneity, showing how time can be both exact and emotional.
This project was exhibited at the Musée Rath in Geneva as part of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie exhibition, highlighting the connection between artistic exploration and watchmaking tradition.
