The story behind
Albert Chamillard is an artist who draws only with a ballpoint pen on notebooks. This Amalthee box features a link forming an "H" in deep colors in the foreground. It is made from leather marquetry. This technique requires meticulous care in the preparation of the leather pieces so that, when assembled, they fit together to the nearest tenth of a millimeter to create a unique surface despite the different grains of the leathers used.
When Albert Chamillard talks about his drawings, he describes them as very personal and only gives them meaning once they are finished, never before. Anchor Chain 17 is about the emotional experience of being alive, where unconnected feelings make us who we are as human beings. But time also plays a role. 17 is also the age of the artist's daughter. His drawing is a representation of the future, which is not fully formed, but it gives us a direction. Three formats of this box are available: 4 watches and jewelry, 6 watches and cuff links and 8 watches.
