Where Wildlife Meets the Workbench: Six Master Artisans, One Menagerie

· 1 min read

A new Métiers d'Art collection out this season proves that watchmaking's most demanding hands still turn to the animal kingdom for inspiration, with gold thread stitched into fur and glass sculpted into feather and scale. Collectors drawn to craft-driven pieces will find six distinct techniques at work across a single lineup, each artisan given free rein to interpret wildlife in their own material.

With reporting from Galerie.
