Gabriel De La Chapelle, Photographer, Paris

About

This vertical top-down editorial photograph by Gabriel De La Chapelle in Paris showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of a luxury timepiece. A wristwatch featuring a striking blue peacock feather dial, a diamond-set bezel, and a blue leather strap is laid out on a dark black crafting surface. Surrounding the watch are individual iridescent blue and green peacock feathers arranged in rows, metallic circular templates with handwritten notes, and a pair of fine tweezers. Handwritten annotations on the black paper point out design elements such as the leather strap and sapphires and diamonds. The composition highlights the intersection of artisanal skill and high-end jewellery design.
