Extraordinary Craftsmanship

BURIN-ENGRAVING

A resumé of creative roles in watchmaking and high jewellery offers only clues to our Atelier resident engraver’s talent. Trained at the Italian Mint’s elite medal-making school, applying art to a writing instrument’s cylindrical form demands exceptional patience and concentration.

Burin work leaves little margin for error, yet its human, handmade process exhibits levels of subtlety and emotion far beyond modern engraving techniques. Ideal for motifs from miniature to lavishly ornate, every bespoke order is carefully planned and executed from start to finish.

HAND-PAINTING

Our Atelier resident miniaturist spent her early career restoring priceless artworks for Europe’s finest museums. Decades of specialist training lie behind her ability to realise motifs and patterns of extraordinary beauty, and adapt them to the curvature of elite-grade writing instruments.

Encompassing a wide artistic repertoire, bespoke hand-painting services range from intricate, decorative discs to full, 360-degree canvasses – often requiring hundreds of hours of work. Every commission follows a process of careful planning, consultation and virtuoso brushwork.
