完整圖錄內容
L’Epée 1839 unveils a one-of-a-kind interpretation of La Regatta, reimagining one of the manufacture’s iconic kinetic sculptures through the artistic vision of Floriano Castaldi. Inspired by the elegance of sculling, the creation retains its tall, slender silhouette reminiscent of a racing shell, with an open construction that reveals the mechanical movement within.
For this unique piece, La Regatta’s shells are transformed using a distinctive lacquering technique that combines the brilliance of chrome with vivid color. The interplay of light, depth and reflection brings a new dimension to the sculpture, uniting L’Epée 1839’s horological savoir-faire with the artist’s contemporary approach.
This unique edition belongs to L’Epée 1839’s Creative Residency Collection, where the manufacturer's mechanical sculptures become canvases for artistic exploration. Each creation reflects the breadth of its in-house expertise or a collaboration with an artist from another creative discipline.
Every detail of La Regatta reflects the mechanics and choreography of rowing. Its elongated hands recall the blades of a scull, particularly at 9:15, when their position mirrors a pair of oars poised on the water. The visible balance wheel regulates the rhythm of the movement, much like a coxswain setting the pace for the crew.
Castaldi Floriano Castaldi is an artist whose work explores metallic surfaces and the illusion of material. His work bridges contemporary artistic expression and technical craftsmanship, creating finishes whose appearance evolves with their surroundings and the viewer’s perspective.
