FINE WATCHMAKING
‘passion pour la haute horlogerie’ describes best my love for designing fine watches and complications, be them unique creative concepts for complications layouts, product design/visualisation for iconic watches or creating a new watch design from scratch. The inspirations are infinite, the goal is timeless.
CREATIVE CONCEPTION
Deep diving into different categories of luxury watches from sports to high jewelry, taking great pride in creating concepts for unique watches.
PROTOTYPING
Always exploring new innovative methods and materials, incorporating traditional values and trying out practices in R&D.
SKILLS
From manual rendering sketches, markers and goauches to industry leading digital 2d and 3d softwares.
Velanor – Flying Tourbillon Monopusher Chronograph
Concept design for a high complication yet simplistic timepiece featuring a flying tourbillon with ‘Tanishq’s signature tria T – blades’ and a bicompax chronograph function with a single pusher on the crown. Imagined with interchangeable strap-bracelet mechanism. In the frame is Pink gold with chocolate smoked dial with sunburst finish and grainy tobacco finish for the sub dial counters.

JEWELRY DESIGN
The creation of high-end, unique pieces characterized by artisanal craftsmanship, precious and innovative materials and techniques, meticulous attention to detail using rare diamonds and gemstones. This not only involves merely design, but aims to showcase emotion and sophistication capturing true essence of the work of art, a unique expression of personal style, making each piece a coveted symbol of elegance and refinement.
CONCEPTION
Understanding the client’s wishes and expectations, it always begins with initial creative sketches and ideas that transforms into eventual unique concepts that pushes possibilities and limitations.
CREATION
A dialogue with master artisans brainstorming techniques and possibilities, creating gouaches, realistic digital renderings and production model prototypes.
PRESENTATION
A great design demands even better presentation, the task is not over after creating a unique piece of jewel, but to tell that poetic story that completes this voyage.

manual rendering
Initial ideas scribbled on paper, starting with numerous sketches that helps get the right direction towards the finalization.
3D DIGITAL RENDERING
Achieving photorealistic renders that are merely how it will look but dynamic presentations that evoke emotions and support storytelling for concepts is crucial in my workflow.
FROM CONCEPT TO DYNAMIC PRESENATION
Creating dynamic 3d presentation videos for Jewelry and watch designs with minute attention to detail by understanding nature of metal alloys, gemstones etc, how light reacts with shape and form thereby creating promising results.
