rtnership with the François Junod workshop – present a flower that blooms to reveal a fine winged creature. Here, a flower born in an imaginary garden animates on demand, opening its petals to unveil a hummingbird ready to take flight. The movement of the bird called for long hours of research and tests: its wings spread realistically to beat for a few instants, at a natural rhythm. The hummingbird then goes back to its place at the center of the corolla, which simultaneously closes all its petals around the bird, gently enveloping it. The music that accompanies this scene has been specially written for this collection. An Acanthus leaf in mirror-polished gold and diamonds adds the finishing touch to the creation, linking the flower to the base of the piece, where a rotating ring enables the time to be read.
