This project was developed in close dialogue with the jewelry designer around a unique cuff combining tubular construction, dense stone setting and an integrated watch movement. The piece belongs to a high jewelry context, where precision of assembly, surface finish and stone integration define its presence. As the object did not exist in its complete form at the time of image production, the work relied on technical files, partial elements and direct exchanges with the design team.
The project was driven by an extensive phase of geometry reconstruction, translating technical documentation and fragmented information into a coherent three-dimensional structure. Selected components were photographed early on, providing a precise reading of material, surface and light to guide the modeling. Tubular volumes, settings and structural links were rebuilt following an assembly logic close to fabrication, with particular attention to surface modeling and transitions.
The final images extend this process and present the object in its full presence while retaining the density of decisions embedded in its reconstruction. Photography and CGI operate in continuity, linking observation and construction, allowing the piece to be evaluated and adjusted ahead of its physical realization.
