'La Colonne du Temps'

The collaboration between Jörg Hysek and Sinclair Harding began at Baselworld 2017, marking the start of an ambitious and inspiring journey. Throughout the development of La Colonne du Temps, the team embraced new techniques in design, manufacture, finishing and assembly — all under the close guidance of Jörg Hysek — ensuring the final creation remained true to his vision. Sinclair Harding are proud to present La Colonne du Temps Mark II.

After a further year of development, Mark II retains its innovative digital display while introducing thoughtful refinements.

'La Colonne du Temps' Mark II

Mark II continues to display the passing hours and minutes through a complex system of independently rotating carriages, each guided by a uniquely profiled cam. Every segment moves at its own measured pace, creating a captivating mechanical choreography of time in motion.

A retrograde hand indicates the seconds, engraved on a smaller fixed cylinder positioned between the hour and minute displays.

An elegantly engineered base houses the movement, while refined feet and leather-encased rollers support the column. The timepiece rests on an aluminium base beneath a bevelled glass shade, completing its sculptural presence.
