Time as a space for life to flow and unfold.
Time, held as an element of space.
A single circular face reveals a second
disc, the leading edge expanding to reveal
the passing of time over a set period.
No hands. No numerals. No markers.
A pause from the pressure of time.
An invitation to a return to the present.
Each piece shares one mechanism, though entirely unique.
The turning of the disc, and the discs themselves, are bespoke, shaped through conversation around the space it's made for. Expression follows what time means there. Scale, form, surface and tone are considered in turn, so the piece belongs to where it stands.
Made in England, by makers of the highest horological tradition.
The Time Artist and Inventor.
Laurence Lassalle's work explores space, clarity and stillness. He's drawn to work that holds space, rather than filling it.
He looks at objects, art, philosophy and natural rhythm through one idea: everything turns, nothing stands alone. He creates works of enquiry exploring how we sit with time, as presence, not measurement. Rhythms that happen regardless of whether we observe them.
He works with natural raw materials, and builds form through scale, light and shade. His work invites a pause: quiet questions, a slowing of time, and a moment to hear ourselves again.
EQNX, two rotating discs on one axis, one revealing the other over a set period, performs the idea mechanically: as one rises, the other falls. Two opposites held as one continuous turn. Duality within unity. He invented the mechanism, a patented approach to presence.
The Horological Architect.
A twice Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève award winner, and founder of a British horology brand. He works from first principles, drawing on history and looking to the future to give relevance to the present.
His practice is built on hand finishing, aesthetic precision and technical expertise to the highest degree, with the conviction that materials are chosen for purpose as much as beauty. That precision has its roots in automotive and transport design, studied at Coventry University, before he turned it toward horology.
"In an environment which has been explored for centuries, Laurence has achieved something unique in creating an original way to indicate time, executing it beautifully and simply." Peter Speake, Watchmaker
