TURBINE CLOCK CONCEPT

Development of a luxury concept clock for the BeyonCa Opus 1 GT, designed as a precision piece with a strong technical and emotional presence within the interior. The project took the turbine of an aircraft as its main inspiration, not only in the outer architecture of the clock but also in the internal construction of the dial, aiming to convey precision, sophistication and a refined technical character. The proposal reinterpreted high-end watchmaking codes within a contemporary automotive context, exploring both an analogue version and a digital alternative to evaluate different levels of expression, technology and integration with the interior.

My Contribution

I developed this piece from start to finish, from the initial idea and early concept sketches to its complete 3D resolution. My work included defining the formal language, proportions, interior and exterior detailing, and translating the turbine concept precisely into each component. I also developed the textures and surfaces in 3D, using the diamond as the basis of the pattern strategy, and explored different variants to study presence, materiality and coherence with the overall vehicle language. Although the development was part of a team effort, I was responsible for conceiving the piece, developing it and carrying it through to a final proposal with a high level of precision in every detail.

Process

Concept development through sketching, turbine-inspired architecture definition, full 3D modelling in Rhinoceros, texture and pattern strategy development, exploration of analogue and digital variants, preparation for 3D printing to check scale and proportions, and visualisation in KeyShot for presentation and concept communication.
