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.
In March 2020, as the world plunged into uncertainty, the Liège duo
NOIR Artist has taken a hopeful initiative. Lucien Gilson, painter and muralist, along with his brother Martin, created a lithograph entitled Global Resilience , created to benefit the NGO Médecins Sans Frontières. A powerful, artistic, and supportive gesture, born in the midst of turmoil, to remind us that even in chaos, creativity can bring people together and heal.
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.
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.
A design inspired by the art of Kintsugi.
The dial of the 2020 Resilience watch was designed in collaboration with NOIR Artist and is inspired by the ancient Japanese method of Kintsugi. This art, which involves repairing ceramic objects by highlighting the cracks with gold powder, symbolizes the beauty in repair. Rather than being hidden, cracks are accentuated, transforming the fractures into a stronger and more beautiful work of art. This design represents not only the resilience of the Earth after hardship, but also that of humanity, rebuilding and thriving beyond wounds.
“What is broken lets through more light than what is intact.”
— Christian Bobin
Timeless precision, a tribute to human strength.
The quartz version of the Résilience 2020 watch combines the modern precision of quartz movement with the emotion of this healing message. Each numbered model embodies the strength of humanity to overcome traumatic shocks. The dial, both simple and symbolic, is a testament to the spirit of reconstruction. This timepiece embodies both the strength found after hardship and the beauty of unwavering human resilience, paying tribute to those who, like the Earth, are reborn stronger after each crisis.
