Sometimes referred to as the City of Cities or the Big Apple, New York is the jewel of the US East Coast.
Its iconic skyscrapers form a breathtaking architectural symphony, offering a glittering spectacle at night thanks to the thousands of lights that bring their façades to life.
The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the United States to celebrate the centenary of the Declaration of Independences, is not only a historic monument, but also a universal symbol of freedom and democracy.
“The city that never sleeps, with its soaring skyscrapers that change colour as day turns to night... A breathtaking sight that thrills me every time. A holographic film was used to reproduce this striking effect by playing on the contrasting lights.”

The backstory
Holographic technology animating buildings
What better monument to dominate this timepiece, than the Statue of Liberty, engraved and painted by hand. Making it demanded lots of experience and dexterity.
The sapphire crystal substrate of the dial has been carefully painted black to highlight the imposing skyline of the Big Apple. In the back is a holograph film that creates a fascinating play with lights that recalls the typical architecture of the skyscrapers. Depending on the angle of viewing, these buildings light up brightly and emit all the nuances of the rainbow.
The special choice of materials and decorative techniques give this unique piece a bold liveliness, the very essence of New York, the city that never sleeps.
