It's Time - pocket watch

Step into the realm of fine craftsmanship with It’s Time, an extraordinary pocket watch created as part of Heidi Vornan's Master Goldsmith project. This unique piece is a culmination of techniques in traditional and modern craftsmanship, inspired by the works of Hugo Simberg and the aesthetic spirit of the early 20th century.

This one-of-a-kind timepiece brings together the expertise of master artisans. The hidden cameo—an agate carving by master gem engraver Andreas Roth—is carefully concealed inside the watch, evoking a sense of mystery and timelessness. When the watch stops, this hidden Garden of Death cameo reveals a haunting memento mori, serving as a reminder of life’s fleeting nature.

The intricate palladium white gold dial showcases a meticulous guilloché pattern, crafted by master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, with enameling echoing the elegance of Fabergé’s finest creations. Encased in 925 silver and set with 130 salt & pepper diamonds, this watch combines black rhodium-plated 18K white gold branches and delicate enamel, creating a sense of vines enveloping time itself.

It’s Time is more than just a timepiece—it’s an artistic journey into the delicate balance between life and death, traditional craftsmanship, and modern innovation.
