Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Petite Heure Minutes White Gold Les Volumes du Temps × Académie de Meuron
Created exclusively for the TimeForArt charity auction, this unique Jaquet Droz timepiece brings together the Académie de Meuron and the Maison’s Métiers d’Art in a distinctive dialogue between contemporary art and haute horlogerie.
Conceived by Academy student Fiona Djukanovic, its sculptural dial explores volume, geometry and light through conical forms in hand-engraved gold, translucent Grand Feu enamel and champlevé enamel applied to solid gold. Shifting depth and luminosity give the composition an architectural presence.
More than a timekeeping instrument, this one-of-a-kind creation is designed as an object of contemplation. It celebrates craftsmanship as a form of artistic expression, where traditional savoir-faire transforms the measurement of time into emotion and visual experience.
