Is that the first time they have made a marquetry dome clock?
It is amazing to see the marquetry done on a curved surface. It was already pretty hard to believe the marquetry dials on the wristwatches were made with wood and not painted, and they were flat! For example, my AD shared some photos with me from the exhibit and I had no idea that bald eagle Ellipse was marquetry - I thought it was enamel!
I still have no Rare Handcraft piece in my collection, maybe the dice roll will be favorable this year...
Second day with GTG with 2 moderators then rare handcrafts exhibition at the Salon ! I was TOTALLY AMAZED at the pieces !👍
This is a pictorial post with photos of explanation of the techniques. Naturally Anita Porchet’s signed “AP” (made by her team under total supervision by Anita) bird 🐦 on ellipse and jaguar 🐆 pocket watch signed “A Porchet” which is produced by her alone ...
As usual....
All of them are truly impressive. The tiger, and the cityscapes (London etc.) appeal to me the most. Thank you so much for the extensive pictorial! Cheers, Filip
Love the astrology ones The gear ( 52) has to be a joke surely
Thanks for all these wonderful pics Sleep well Gordon Julian
Can’t take the Patek dial one seriously
Very cool idea with the gears but that patek logo 😂 would have been cool if enamel logo or something small
Thanks for a great report...
Jaguar by queen herself is incredible... would love to see it in a wristwatch... Ellipse is a great canvas for rare handcrafts with the Zebra one being a favorite of mine... this year the bald eagle looks the best in a company of insane creations...

Oh, my favorites are...
Overall, that marquetry dome clock is pretty incredible as well as the Jaguar pocket watch. For wristwatches; The Ellipses with the blue leaves on the bracelets (if you have a picture of the description for those pieces, I would be very happy to see them!...
Thank you for bringing us to the exhibition of rare handcrafts, Gordon
39 and 13 are my favorites, as I have been fond of parrot 🦜 since my childhood. There were a few big white parrots kept at my primary school, which allowed me to admire those beautiful birds in close distance. Hope I can get allocation of these non-regula...
Not a fan of the clocks.
But the several Eclipses are good, except that the Patek one is "too outstanding". Among the Eclipses, I like the bald eagle most.
