A fallen vessel lands on our soil, descending from the void of space in a silent, unearthly manner. Its shape and entrance defy all human understanding, and this bewildering bibelot in 18k gold is a sculptural masterpiece. While its passage through the universe remains unclear, scientists can trace its origins to the mind of a futuristic thinker: Gilbert Albert. An artisan of wearable art, Albert echoed the spectacle of the skies, seeking unconventional materials in his watches to achieve a sculptural quality, setting them apart from other earthly inventions. One of the greatest mysteries of the universe is time, and Albert captures this bewilderment through a concealed dial, paired with a matching 18k gold operculum – a hidden treasure beneath the otherworldly exterior.
