About

Modern Weekly China presents Time will tell, a series of editorial portraits and product studies centered on luxury horology. The project explores the intersection of precision design and abstract form, utilizing soft lighting and moody, textured backgrounds to frame its subject matter. By pairing refined timepieces with curated apparel, the photography maintains a focus on clean, structured compositions and horological detail. Photographed by Antoine and Charlie, the visuals are defined by their editorial sensibility and deliberate use of natural light. Fashion editor Ramona Tabita oversees the styling, which works alongside the grooming of hair stylist Alessandro Rebecchi and makeup artist Luciano Chiarello to ground the series in a polished, modern aesthetic. Mathilde Henning appears as the featured model throughout the campaign.
