Hermès 2004
Project: design and create a portfolio for the Nomade watch.
Keywords: travel, nomadism, desert, wandering, artisanry
Jean-Baptiste Huynh offered a vision of the Nomade watch by lending it a cosmic dimension, free from gravity, reminiscent of lunar images accompanied by symbols from an imaginary expedition. In this portfolio, the artist offers a visual journey through faces, plants, minerals, and time itself. Hermès wanted to commission a contemporary artist for the interpretation of the Nomade watch to present the new timepiece exclusively to its VIP clients. This carte-blanche project went on to feature at a unique exhibition at the 2005 Baselworld World Watch and Jewelry Show.
