In Between: The Utopia of the Neutral - Complications

With ‘Complications’ – a term used in
horology that refers to any function and
feature in a timepiece beyond the simple
display of hours and
minutes – Stéphanie Baechler imagines
a future where ‘tension’ – a functionality
of the mechanical springs used in
watchmaking – is liberated from its
confines. Enlarged versions of these
custom-made micro precision springs,
scaled up by a factor of 10,000, each
hold a fragile ceramic connector
highlighting the precarious balance
between resilience, fragility and
desirability.
