This 18-k yellow gold signet ring is engraved by hand with the image of a howling wolf in front of a chain of mountains. Thomas Brac de la Perrière’s main job is to engrave family crests on gold signet rings, so he is always quite happy to be able to suggest other possible designs that always result in unique pieces. The motif of the wolf and the mountain were chosen by the client.

Akrone is a young French watchmaking Maison who chose to adorn 100 of their watches with a Japanese motif engraved by Thomas Brac de la Perrière. The idea was to "tattoo" the watch and show French technique at an affordable price. All 100 watches were sold in a few hours on Kickstarter and Thomas considers himself lucky enough to own watch 100/100.

This hand-engraved stamp features a coat of arms designed with Leonardo da Vinci's motto: "Ostinato Rigore". Thomas Brac de la Perrière created the piece during a national engraving competition. This is the first time that he made such a big coat of arms, and it was a great exercise to progress. Thomas still has a lot to learn and improve, but he believes this to be the same for all craftspeople. Here there is the wax impression which allows to see the details of the engraving made in negative in the matrix.

Personal project of design and realization of an automatic watch "craft of art". After having worked for a long time for Fine Watchmaking in Geneva, Thomas Brac de la Perrière wanted to make his own watch showing his skills as a designer and craftsman. Thomas started with an ETA 2892 mechanism and an existing case. He had to learn to disassemble a mechanism and reassemble it to propose the dial that he wanted. Thomas found a technique allowing to imitate the aventurine stone in painting. He likes this type of project which symbolises a period in the life of a craftsman.
