Notes
X-RAY ART
A unique timepiece ? Painting through movement X-Ray Art has allowed the artist to blend painting and Haute Horlogerie, an artistic touch that can be recognized by its colors and style. A timepiece transmits cheerfulness and happiness, always remaining within the contemporary style. Moreover, a touch of creativity has permitted the movement to come alive and beat as a heart. All of these emotions are experienced when looking at any of Jorg Hysek?s works of art. 2004 ? Antiquorum celebrated its 30th anniversary; Jorg Hysek also made his artistic debut in the same year as Antiquorum was founded and created a unique model to celebrate this special event. This Timepiece links design, creativity, Haute Horlogerie, precious gems and colors, a combination giving a sense of magic and dreams while also becoming a painting through movement.
Jorg Hysek
is well known as a designer, thanks to his prestigious designs for watch brands such as Breguet, Cartier, Dunhill, Ebel, Seiko, Tag Heuer and Tiffany & Co. Jorg Hysek studied sculpture and painting in Germany; he continued his studies at London?s Central School of Art. All of his works are conceived in the same spirit. Unrestricted art has always been a refuge and a means of creative revitalization for Jorg Hysek. In 1980, Jorg Hysek opened his creative atelier overlooking Lac Léman in Morges, Switzerland. That same year, he launched his own brand. Today, the Jorg Hysek brand creates and manufactures fine jewelry, writing instruments and accessories with a very strong esthetic identity under Jorg Hysek?s master eye. Each collection continues to evolve following the pure spirit of the brand. Revolutionary new lines of timepieces are created, which intrigue art and design amateurs alike. Jorg Hysek has achieved many of his dreams and now one of his most significant ones is to become a reality: an exhibition of his paintings, the source of inspiration for his timepiece creations.
