Métiers d'Art Les Univers Infinis Horsemen
Reference 86222000G-983
In 2013, the 'Horsemen' joined the Les Univers Infinis collection, inspired by artist Maurits Cornelis Escher. The collection showcases the Geneva-based manufacture's mastery of various Artistic Crafts like engraving, enamelling, gemsetting, guilloché work, and the new technique of gold and mother-of-pearl marquetry. The dial features Ottoman horsemen in a stunning marquetry pattern of gold and mother-of-pearl, blending beautifully together. This ancient technique has been used since the time of the Egyptians, and in the Middle Ages, it was popularized by Venetian and Byzantine luxury objects. The marquetry artist carefully pieces together the horsemen using two opposing materials
