As part of the TimeForArt auction, Biver created this unique Automatique in partnership with Swiss artist Guillaume Ehinger. It is called “Echoes of this Moment” and it is a synthesis of the art of watchmaking and the natural beauty that surrounds us. The watch is distinguished by its unique, handmade dial which is based on a series of Ehinger’s abstract paintings inspired by natural landscapes. The white gold dial plate is hand-engraved with organic ripples that recall the ever-changing surface of a lake and then multiple layers of colored enamel are applied. This gives the dial a shimmering effect, with shades of red and grey shifting and changing in the light. As with Ehinger’s paintings, the dial invites the viewer to experience each elusive moment as its own unique memory. Turning the watch over and looking through the sapphire caseback, you will find a special version of the Calibre JCB-003, with its 22k gold micro-rotor bearing the watch’s name and the artist’s signature. All of this is housed in a stainless steel case, a first for the new Automatique, traditionally offered only in platinum and rose gold. The watch is paired with a cotton and Alcantara strap with a stainless steel pin buckle (another first for the Automatique) to complete the package.
