A trio of clocks with strong personalities
Lady Copper
Lady Copper is the first of the trio to be born. She was unveiled at the end of 2024 in an article on my blog. At the time, I envisioned a larger collection, but my friend Wheelfrid Le Tour called out to me… and I couldn’t ignore it! So, don’t be surprised if several turned pieces appear soon. (And perhaps a few new Ladies later this year…)
Lady Blue
Lady Blue gave me a hard time. Every clock I create is unique, made by hand with a touch of improvisation. The Lady model stands out with its slightly convex back, a curve I had already defined when making the first Lady. Confident that everything was under control, I didn’t think it was necessary to make a template or measure precisely the remaining inner space after shaping.
A calculation error! When it came time to insert the mechanism, I realized I was missing… a millimeter. Just one tiny millimeter, which suddenly became crucial. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending: after a discreet surgical intervention (thanks to my trusty toolbox), Lady Blue regained her balance and works perfectly.
Lady Pink
The dial of Lady Pink stands out from the other clocks I’ve created so far. On the one hand, her numbers have been replaced by hearts, and on the other, these hearts are not engraved using the Mishima technique like my other models, but applied as glaze on the surface.
But what truly makes Lady Pink my little favorite is undoubtedly my enduring love for pink. And you, which of the Ladies charms you the most?
