01
Within "Rook" our imaginative artisans designed an abstract depiction of the watchmaker’s universe: a cluster of watch parts from treasured timepieces, now ‘vintage’ and having lost functionality. Sought out by our experts, these pieces of history are disassembled then restored to start life anew as modern art.
02
Our sculptures are the perfect compliment to your collection of art, or as a centerpiece atop any table. Each crystal clear Lucite® design piece holds within it the varied stories and histories of the passage of time - and is a sure conversation piece among all who view it, from every angle.
03
The production process for "Rook" expands upon our signature artistic methodology, developing the brand’s repertoire through the creation of this new Chess Rook sculpture. Each watch component encrusted orb seems to move, yet stands still within the artistry that is Berd Vay’e.
Masterminds in freezing time, Berd Vay’e offers an exclusive look into the secret inner-workings of watchmaking through its show-stopping, limited edition sculptures. Each and every gear, barrel, wheel, spring, escapement wheel, pinion, bridge, and hands is storied. Components are restored, polished and meticulously positioned, balanced in precious, crystal clear shatter-resistant Lucite®.
