The project develops images for a writing instrument integrating a miniature mechanical watch movement within the body of a fountain pen. Bringing together horology and fine writing, the object combines two traditions of precision, where structure, material and assembly define its presence.
At the time the work began, the object was still evolving through advanced prototypes. CGI was used to explore its final form, allowing proportions, materials and internal components to be developed in parallel with engineering. Digital models were constructed from technical drawings and partial data, enabling the image to anticipate the object before its completion.
Particular attention was given to the relationship between polished metal surfaces, transparent sapphire elements and the exposed mechanical structure. The images operate as a projection tool, revealing how the object might exist, while supporting a dialogue between design, engineering and image-making.
