The stained glass and the hourglass

Two dials and two different techniques, seen close up: the stained glass and the hourglass.

A report from October 2018 about two pieces Augustin Matei took to the “It's all about watches” festival in Poland. Adevărul presents them as the first stained-glass watch and the first hourglass watch in Romania.

The stained-glass dial shows an archangel, with the skeletonised movement visible through it. The hourglass watch, Memento Mori, starts from a calibre modified by Adrian Sîrbu; the article counts around ninety diamonds on it.

The rest of the text is about the road: four years of learning, then two years of dials, with silver, gold, stone and fragments of meteorite.
