— On the Castellane

Drawn for a client who wanted metal that would never need replating.

The first Castellane was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, wanted metal that would never need replating. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.

The result favours the rectangular line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in buffalo horn, 27g finished, and fitted with a platinum-pinned horn hinge.
