The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8, synonymous with institutional watch designs, takes on a new multidimensional persona through 3D visualisation. Despite the uncanny similarity to high-budget campaign visuals, this replica doesn’t need casting, styling or props. It’s a byproduct of cutting-edge 3D visualisation technology, where color palette, material, and lighting all pivot in real-time, without restraint. The result is a virtuoso replica that evokes the original timepiece in distinct minutiae. This imaginative creation draws inspiration from the timeless Pink Floyd album, layering the rendering with a mesmerising colour spectrum echoing the iconic prism refraction.
Laurent Ferrier’s meticulous attention to detail and dedication to fine craftsmanship has made him a leading light in the world of watchmaking. One of his most captivating creations is the Classic Moon, which combines function and art in its beautiful lunar complication, rendered in aventurine glass by Murano artisans. This striking feature, complete with engraved celestial shapes and hand-painted details, is undeniably captivating, but the watch’s allure goes beyond the dial.
Peering inside any Laurent Ferrier creation reveals a universe of beauty and precision equal to the outward aesthetic. According to Ferrier, both the visible and the hidden elements of a timepiece hold equal value, creating a deeply personal bond between the wearer and the watch.
