To better understand the challenge of this incredible pure and aerial Pegasus, I have requested some information from Vincent Calabrese.
- “The “Pegasus” is a technical “tour de force”. For it requires the craftsman watchmaker to display the highest mastery of his art in order to actualize this unique movement.
As for the engraver, he must immerse himself in the fine details while conceiving of others and yet avoid the risk of overwhelming the work as a whole.
- Gold and sapphire are the only possible materials for such a creation, producing as they do a splendid, dazzling play of light. And yet the profound nature of this creation reveals more than a mere virtuoso display—for it seeks to explore what is most precious in us: our dreams.
- What better companion than Pegasus in our journey of dreams? He took flight at the very beginning of mythology, and yet he enjoys the richest iconography in every era: the personification of water, the solar myth, the shaman’s mount, his link with the human imagination was emphasized by the school of Carl Jung.
In our own days, he is omnipresent in virtual games, the cinema and literature.
- Pegasus is an eternal myth, which is why he could not now be more real, more tangible.”
