I was born in Paris where I grew up. Fifteen years ago, hazards of life made me move to the south of France and in particular to Carqueiranne, a little town located in the department of the Var. As of my prime youth a strong attraction for manufacturing metals directed me towards the adapted schools. Mechanical precision became my priority. I constantly dismantled and reassembled moving objects in order to understand their mechanism and very soon their functioning was no longer a mystery to me. This is why in particuarl pendulums became my passion. So on day, following my own idea, I created an entire mechanism piece by piece and this is when my first pendulum was born. Since then others followed which I'll present you now. |
I share this workroom whit my girlfriend Anne and we spend a lot of time in this principal place. It' s in here that I originate and share new ideas. The creation of pendulum takes me several months. When a new idea comes up it has to be feasible mechanically as well as aesthetically. The right part has to found, to be modified and adjusted in order to match other parts and finally, at noon or at midnight, the hour hand the minute hand will join. |
