Numéro Homme Switzerland

Jun 2026

In the latest editorial spread for Numéro Homme Switzerland, titled Obsession, the convergence of high-end jewellery and sharp sartorial elegance creates a masterclass in minimalist restraint. Photographer Riccardo Meroni and creative director Ale Montanher craft a visual narrative that leans into the interplay of light and texture, utilizing a blend of natural light and precise studio strobe setups to emphasize the metallic luster of the featured watches and rings. The project embraces a clean, editorial aesthetic, stripping away distractions to focus on the interplay between the human form and the premium hardware. Through the expert styling of Victor Borges and the artful hair direction of Alan Antoine, the models Atmane Yousfi and Bianca Redmerski are presented as sculptural elements, their poses deliberate and emotive against the stark, neutral backdrops of grey and white. This portrait-centric approach captures a sense of intimacy and stillness, where the jewellery becomes an extension of the subject rather than a mere accessory. By marrying the precision of watch photography with the raw energy of fashion editorial portraiture, the team successfully channels a polished, high-end sensibility. The resulting imagery is intentionally pared-back, relying on shadow, skin tone, and metallic contrast to command attention. It is a sophisticated study in form, where the classic, understated luxury of the timepieces is elevated by a disciplined and timeless artistic vision.
