LAC – “Tortue de Joux” CLAUDE MEYLAN draws inspiration from the great tradition of shaped cases and creates “Tortue de Joux” within the LAC line. With its pure and timeless lines combined with a brand-new interpretation of a proven mechanism, “Tortue de Joux” presents a new sculpture of time. At the center of the work, dressed in Rhodium, the hour and minute wheels drive the hands in an infinite ballet. Expert hands have shaped the decor inspired by our banners, so often reproduced on the shutters of our watchmaking farms. The transparencies, like sunbeams, play with the contrasts of the matching colors between bridges and plates
