Espressione Romantica
Artisan watch brand XRby has teamed up with the talented architect, designer and enameller Matteo Stauffacher to create a striking cloisonné enamel timepiece.
XRby collaborates with master artisans by giving them space to freely express their artistic talents. The latest collaboration has resulted in “Espressione Romantica” by Matteo Stauffacher. Based in Lausanne, Matteo Stauffacher is a qualified EPF architect, designer and enameller, student of the largest enameller in Switzerland. His exploration of the artistic theme of “contrast” is no doubt inspired by his diverse professional background.
Indeed, Espressione Romantica is the embodiment of contrast. It represents an improbable encounter between Francesco Hayez, a leading artist of Italian Romanticism, and Wassily Kandinsky, the pioneer of abstract art. The dial is a magnificent fusion of the two artists’ works: “Il bacio” from 1859 and “Transverse line” from 1923.
Matteo Stauffacher’s dial uses the cloisonné enamel technique, where the pattern is outlined in gold wire and the cells are filled with enamel. The piece is fired several times then sanded to perfection.
A premiere in fine-arts watchmaking : A cloisonné enamelled oscillating weight.
Always in search of excellence, we have developed an oscillating weight that allows the artist-craftsman to express his know-how also on an element of the automatic movement.
Specific technical characteristics :
It took more than 100 hours of work to create this improbable encounter between abstract art and romanticism, 1 metre of 24k gold wire with a diameter of 0.60 mm to delimit the contours of the cells, each of which hosts one or more of the 26 colours chosen by the artist.
Automatic movement manufactured in Switzerland with a power reserve of 86 hours, frequency of 3 Hz. The watch has a diameter of 40 mm, the glass box is made of sapphire, and the openworked case back and signature crown are in white gold.

浪漫表达 (Espressione Romantica)
工匠手表品牌 XRby 与才华横溢的建筑师、设计师和珐琅艺术家 Matteo Stauffacher 合作，打造了一款引人注目的挖掘珐琅时计。
XRby 通过为大师级工匠提供自由表达他们艺术才华的空间与他们合作。最新的合作项目由 Matteo Stauffacher 所创作，位于洛桑的工作坊，是一位 EPF 建筑师、设计师和珐琅艺术家，曾拜师瑞士的珐琅匠人。他对“对
比”这一艺术主题的探索无疑受到了他多元职业背景的启发。
确实，Espressione Romantica 体现了对比。它代表了意大利浪漫主义的杰出艺术家弗朗切斯科·哈耶兹与抽象艺术先驱瓦西里·康定斯基之间的不可思议的相遇。表盘是这两位艺术家作品的壮丽融合：“1859年的《吻》”和“1923年的《横向线》”。
Matteo Stauffacher 的表盘采用了掐丝珐琅技术，其中图案由金线勾勒而出，然后填充珐琅。这件作品经过多次烧制，然后经过打磨，使其完美无瑕。
艺术制表的首次亮相：掐丝珐琅摆铊
我们一直在追求卓越，开发了一款摆铊，使艺术匠人能够在自动机芯的一个元素上表达他的技艺。
特定技术特征：
需要超过100小时的工作时间来创造这一不可思议的抽象艺术与浪漫主义之间的工艺品，使用直径为0.60毫米的1米24K金线来勾勒出每个单元格的轮廓，每个单元格中包含艺术家选择的26种颜色之一。
自动机芯在瑞士制造，具有86小时的动力储备，频率为3赫兹。手表直径为40毫米，表镜采用蓝宝石制成，镂空的表背和独特的表冠是白金制成。
可持续性
我们注重可持续发展，使用环保材料，秉承负责任的制造原则，设计耐用的手表，并支持社会倡议。我们倡导透明，传达我们的努力，以使钟表爱好者能够在环境和社会的利益方面做出明智的选择。
