De Bethune and HG Timepiece have teamed up to reinvent one of history’s oldest timekeeping devices, the , for the year 2022. On the occasion of TimeForArt,
De Bethune presents this unique version of the Hourglass designed by Marc Newson, with a 30-minute duration size, hinting at an eternal conundrum: is the hour half full or half empty? The passage of time is made visible by nanoballs developed by master watchmaker Denis Flageollet cast in a rich, blue hue achieved from the precise and complex process of flame-bluing engineered by Swiss watch Manufacture De Bethune. This nuanced shade recalls the signature blue of French-artist Yves Klein, an artist who often incorporated fire and burning into his groundbreaking work. Contained within an elegant, sensuous glass container manufactured by HG Timepiece, these nanoballs incarnate time’s passing with distinction and flair.
Generously donated by De Bethune and HG Timepiece, the timepiece is being sold to benefit the missions of Swiss Institute.
