Hiya everybody, hope you’re all having a fully lovely week. I’m again right here at the moment to share with you some model new content material that I’ve had the super pleasure creating a number of weeks in the past whereas in Los Angeles with Cartier for the launch of one in every of their latest icons. In order a part of a collaboration with the emblematic jewellery home, I’m greater than delighted to share with you at the moment a brand new editorial that Cibelle and I started working collectively on, introducing you Cartier’s new iconic time piece : La Panthère de Cartier.
I discover the concept of a watch being one of the vital timeless objects an individual can personal so curious and poetic… A timeless time piece. Time appears to be one of many few issues reattaching us endlessly to the concept of actuality. The luckiest ones of us bought handed on from technology to technology a watch that our moms, grand moms or fathers used to hold. And whereas the household retains rising, these objects stay treasured treasures to cherish for those after us. And though know-how retains bettering, the concept we’ve got of time nonetheless stays the identical carrying us by way of life like a river’s regular stream.
Proudly owning a watch of such symbolism, of such high quality and timeless class feels virtually like all the time having a hyperlink again to actuality across the wrist, a reminder that irrespective of the place we’re, time retains shifting, time heals, time grows, time cleans. It doesn’t matter what occurs, time is on our aspect despite the fact that we would wish to cease it from operating so shortly. Time passing is the character of hope, of evolution, of life. It’s the continuation of the story, of all of the tales, those of now and those of after. And because the seconds, minutes, hours maintain passing by, new phrases to our tales are being added. Nothing appears to be a certainty, however time, time will all the time be and can all the time maintain going forcing us to step ahead with it.
To accompany this shoot, here’s a little poem from one in every of my favourite writers Rainer Maria Rilke (extremely advocate studying Letters to a Younger Poet) known as Panther. Take pleasure in and converse to you all very quickly. Okay.
Panther
His imaginative and prescient, from the always passing bars,
has grown so weary that it can not maintain
anything. It appears to him there are
a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, time and again,
the motion of his highly effective gentle strides
is sort of a ritual dance round a middle
during which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
Solely at occasions, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly–. A picture enters in,
rushes down by way of the tensed, arrested muscle tissues,
plunges into the center and is gone.
