11. 2017-2022 Deconstructions

I spent the next five years deconstructing and photographing watches for a plethora of different watch companies, independent and mainstream. I was privileged as an outsider to the companies to be allowed in and to dismantle millions of Swiss francs worth of watches. 

All was done under the title of education and purely objective. 

One of the first companies to open their door was Breguet and the last watch I deconstructed was an original Breguet Tourbillon pocket watch made during the founder’s own life. It was surreal to work on a timepiece which had influenced an industry. It was over 200 years old and with a single click of the winding mechanism, it came to life.
