Son Mài - Guilloché Main « Borealis »

“Borealis”: The Enchanting Northern Lights This version draws inspiration from the Northern Lights, expressed through a hand-guilloché “radiating” pattern of fluid, vibrant lines, crafted in Italy on a traditional engine. A true work of artistry, it demands subtlety, precision, and complete mastery of the gesture. The dial is then elevated in Vietnam through the application of multiple layers of pure lacquer, enriched with natural pigments, following an ancestral technique known as Son Mai. This meticulous ten-hour process creates a deep, richly textured motif, enhanced by nuanced gradients and unique material effects. In the light, the dial comes alive with shifting reflections reminiscent of the aurora borealis. This exceptional piece embodies the meeting of two cultures and crafts within a miniature creation of remarkable aesthetic richness.
