MICRO-PAINTING
ANDRÉ MARTINEZ
André Martinez, master jeweler and miniature painter, lends his artistic precision to the Antarctica collection by adorning its custom rotors with hand-painted scenes of frozen beauty.
Drawing on decades of experience and a deep love for fine art, he turns each rotor into a moving canvas, capturing fleeting moments of light, ice, and silence. His brushwork, delicate and exacting, transforms a mechanical element into a poetic signature: unique to each timepiece.
THE WORK BEHIND THE DIAL
THE POETRY OF PRECISION
For the dial of Antarctica, André Martinez offers a personal interpretation shaped by his background in jewelry and passion for painting.
Inspired by the vast stillness of the southern continent, his design blends color and form to evoke both isolation and serenity. Using the dial as his canvas, he creates a visual meditation on nature’s extremes, icy blues, delicate contrasts, and painterly textures that invite contemplation with every glance.
