— Click to play: Riccardo Renzetti, Guillochè 2016
The Ligne decoration marries the classic lined motif of traditional guilloche engraving with the perfect cylindrical geometry of the handle, resulting in understated, timeless elegance.
Different to freehand engraving, which is suited to more naturalistic and free decorations, guilloche engraving is typically mechanical and reiterative. It allows for infinite different patterns by varying the parameters of the process, which work in concert with the technician’s technical sensibility and aesthetic judgement.
