Description

CLAUDE MEYLAN takes its inspiration from the great tradition of our Valley and creates La Rptition 5 in the L’ABBAYE line. With its pure and timeless curves associated with the romance of sounds, "La Rptition 5" introduces a new sculpture playing time.\t Right in the centre of the piece, dressed with rhodium, the hour and minutes wheels bring the hands in an infinite Ballet. Expert artists have carefully and thoroughly carved the decors inspired by the most elegant ornamentation.\tTransparencies and reflections are playing with the mechanism and highlight the notes animation.\t Each bridge is cut up, fully decorated by hand and arranged in such a way that it gives a fascinating transparency and light while sounds are cradling you.\t La Rptition 5 gives you time without watching it !\tThe magic of the mechanism combined with the melodies take you to a new dimension where time becomes a space of your own and filled with your senses.\t
