TAOS Unveils Masterpieces: Génèse and Odonata Timepieces

Experience the pinnacle of horological artistry where nature's essence is captured in time.

The Genesis of Artistry: A Mineral World Transformed into Timepiece

The 'Génèse' timepiece, a remarkable creation from TAOS, finds its muse in the intricate beauty of the mineral kingdom. Its dial is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, featuring an elaborate interplay of engraving beneath enamel, grand feu enameling, and an exquisite stone marquetry composition. This blend incorporates black jade and blue agate, meticulously arranged to forge a surface rich in tactile and visual depth. Powering this masterpiece is a movement developed by Telos, a specialist in high-grade, bespoke mechanisms, noted for its innovative peripheral rotor design. This allows the movement itself to serve as an additional canvas for artistic expression, with its hand-decoration harmoniously echoing the dial's aesthetic. Encased in a refined 38mm white gold housing, 'Génèse' exudes an understated yet sophisticated presence, mirroring the brand's inaugural unique pieces of 2024.

Odonata: Where Dreamlike Nature Meets Exquisite Craftsmanship

The 'Odonata' timepiece, named after the elegant dragonfly, transports the observer into a realm of fantasy, where the lines between animal and plant life gracefully blur. This particular piece represents one of the most intricate creations from the esteemed Vaucher atelier. Its dial is a marvel of multi-layered design, incorporating sophisticated high-relief technical engraving, dazzling paillonné enamel, precise diamond setting, delicate mother-of-pearl marquetry, and the luminous plique-à-jour technique. These elements combine to create a dynamic interplay of transparency and depth, imbuing the dial with an almost ethereal and vibrant quality. Similar to its counterpart, 'Génèse,' 'Odonata' is presented in an elegant 38mm white gold case, further enhanced by diamond-set lugs and bezel. It utilizes the same high-precision Telos movement, whose intricate decoration thoughtfully extends the artistic theme of the dial. 'Génèse' is offered at a price of CHF 150,000, while the 'Odonata' commands CHF 200,000, reflecting their unparalleled artistry and technical excellence.
