Our Take

We like to think that we cast light on an important element of the watchmaking ecosystem – kinetic artists. Creators that are deeply inspired by horology, but do not create timepieces in the sense of wristwatches, pocket watches or clocks. Berd Vayè is one of these artists, crafting art pieces that are deeply inspired by antique timekeeping devices. The founders scour the globe for broken vintage timepieces that they disassemble, restore the integrity of the parts, and reconstruct into art.

The newest creation from Berd Vayé is the Grenade. Encased in transparent Lucide crystal, this enigmatic creation takes the form of a grenade, yet exudes an elegance far beyond its typical purpose. The translucent Lucide gleams with multifaceted brilliance, reflecting light like a hidden gem from a forgotten time. Suspended within are delicate, golden gears—intricately arranged, as if time itself is locked in a perpetual, silent dance. These mechanisms, frozen in motion, whisper secrets of forgotten craftsmanship, adding a sense of mystery to the object’s allure. This is a great gift for a watch enthusiast's office or workspace!
