* Pre-orders open February 27, 2025 and prints are expected to ship out within 4-6 weeks, if not earlier.
A special piece created to showcase outstanding independent watchmaking for the first UBS House of Craft in New York Fall 2024. I had the great honour of meeting Simon while there and the original artwork now hangs in his atelier in Switzerland. He is a remarkable champion of artists and craftspeople which gives this piece so much significance. I loved working on this movement, spending time creating all of the gorgeous texture and detail. My favourite elements are the concave surfaces of the screws and the barrels. I love the way light and shadow collect in each, forming striking pools of different shades. The balance wheel has been rendered in motion to give this drawing a heartbeat.
Each print will come with a Blackwing x JULIE KRAULIS | MAKING TIME pencil and a handwritten note from the artist.
