Miniature wood marquetry is not only rare, it is fascinating.

Slim d’Hermès Pégase Paysage featuring miniature marquetry horse head

And thanks to our friends at The Watches TV, who recently visited Olivier Varenne in Paris, we can watch an artisan in action as he demonstrates creating miniature wood marquetry dials for rare Hermès artistic craft watches.

Marking of the Slim d’Hermès Pégase Paysage’s micro wood marquetry

Using the example of the Slim d’Hermès Pégase Paysage, Varenne takes us through the entire process of creating the miniature work of timbered art that finds its permanent home underneath a sapphire crystal in this unique video.
