早在18世紀,掌握鐘錶技藝的工匠總是人們的高度尊敬,這項技藝極其耗費材料和精力,鐘錶的每一個部件都必須單獨製作和調適,裝飾細節的加持使其成為一件功能性藝術品。彼時的美洲殖民地,只有小部分人能夠擁有鐘錶。Williamsburg 時間雕塑系列是為向鐘錶工匠的藝術性與創造性致敬,印度進口,Global Views 將充滿雕塑美感的指標設計成雕塑和書擋,曾經用來裝飾時鐘的指標,如今以另一種形式煥發新生。
Clock making was a highly-esteemed craft in the 18th century. Due to the expense of the materials and hours of labors, timepieces were not widely owned in the American Colonies. Each clock part had to be made and fitted separately, and decorative details helped create a work of art that was both functional and beautiful. This collection celebrates the artistry and creativity of these tradesmen, bringing to life the sculptural clock hands that adorn special time pieces in the Colonial Williamsburg archives.
