2020

Dive into the History of Resilience.

In 2020, the pandemic brought the world to a standstill. It was followed by persistent instability: isolation, global inflation, social uncertainty, and the return of war on European soil. This context demands, more than ever, that humanity demonstrate resilience.

This collection reminds us that wounds can become strengths, threats can become opportunities, and that imperfections, while inevitable, can be sublimated.

“Kintsukuroi”

The art of Kintsugi

The dial reveals a fragmented Earth, then repaired according to the ancestral art of Kintsugi. Born in Japan in the 16th century, this art consists of repairing broken objects using gold powder, not to hide the fractures, but to enhance them. A profound philosophy: to make each flaw a precious trace of the past, and each scar, a proof of rebirth.

The Architecture of Resilience 2020

In an innovative design, the dial overhangs the hands, reversing the usual order of time. The seconds hand takes the form of the NOIR Artist logo, like a thread running through the movement. The hours and minutes, meanwhile, are embodied by two white dots: simple, silent markers that discreetly and accurately mark the passage of time.
Needles

Repair, an art and resilience, a strength

On the dial, the letters of the word Kintsukuroi replace the traditional indexes. Each of them marks a milestone, a fragment of this Japanese philosophy that makes repair an art, and resilience, a strength. A subtle reminder that every wound can become beauty, and every trial, a rebirth.

The sublimation of the Japanese art of Kintsugi

The sublimation of the Japanese art of Kintsugi

The 2020 Resilience collection is inspired by Kintsugi, a Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold, revealing the scars instead of hiding them. The watch adopts an inverted structure, where the dial overhangs the hands, as if to sublimate a fractured earth. The collection is limited to 2,020 numbered pieces.

“What is broken lets through more light than what is intact.”

— Christian Bobin

This partnership gives artistic legitimacy to the watch, demonstrating a sincere commitment and reinforcing the emotional and symbolic significance of this limited edition.
