3D titanium printing with mirror polished finish — In the world of luxury watchmaking, the alligator leather strap symbolises an iconic and particularly precious natural material. The idea of this project is to recreate this same material using a 3D modelling programme to retain the characteristic visual aspect of the scales, with their asymmetrical shapes, while preserving the texture specific to this type of leather. Printed in titanium, the bands of scales are held together by small metal pieces which are subtly hidden beneath the surface, giving natural flexibility to the wristband.

3D titanium printing with mirror polished finish — This project is inspired by the microscopic structures of aquatic flora. Based on the observations of German biologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel (1834 - 1919), the aim of this research is to enhance the intricacies and daintiness of natural elements, and more specifically radiolarians—marine plankton with a mineral skeleton made of silica. The result is a gorgeous exploration of sophisticated forms and systems, enabling the creation of a unique and elegant wristband, each element of which could only be recreated using 3D printing technology.

3D titanium printing with mirror polished finish — The aim of this project is to redefine the composition of a strap by working on a gradual metamorphosis of the links. Thanks to the possibilities offered by 3D technology and the Laser Powder Bed Fusion printing technique, each link in the chain is individually crafted and subtly altered according to the shape and curves of the previous link. The result is a wristband that is made up of elements with evolving proportions that fit together perfectly, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.

3D titanium printing with mirror polished finish — Thanks to modelling and 3D printing techniques, this strap is an authentic reflection of the organic elegance and intricacies of the plant world. Each link resembles a climbing plant that grows and revolves around a central loop, representing the case of a watch. The intriguing design of this wristband breaks away from the aesthetic codes of watchmaking and celebrates the harmony between the force of nature and the mesmerising beauty of technology.

3D titanium printing with mirror polished finish — This strap offers a reinterpretation of how frequencies work, illustrated by constant waves on a printed metal band. The formal language is based on a binary technology that translates these lines into information. This principle helps create personalised wristbands by translating specific data into simple frequencies. Each of the waves then become a unique link, giving the strap flexibility and a distinctive visual aesthetic.
