Sculptural Necklace - Mechanical Statement Pendant - Bitácora Collection - Propulsion

"Propulsion"

This piece challenges the traditional notion of jewelry by orchestrating a dialogue between horology and ballistics. At its core, it transforms objects of instantaneous impact into a sharp, tapered silhouette that draws the eye toward the center of the torso, evolved into a sculptural artifact of power and geometric precision.

Conceived as a limited-edition wearable sculpture, its architecture explores how mechanical fragments of diverse origins strip away their utilitarian identities to reorganize into a unified structural form: a study in proportion, alignment, industrial upcycling, and mechanical construction.

The Cylindrical Body: The central axis is constructed from three reclaimed bullet casings of varying calibers, articulated in a telescopic sequence.

Mechanical Transitions: Each caliber is sealed by gear rings salvaged from vintage wristwatches, functioning as architectural transition rings.

The Capital and Terminations: The structure is crowned by a vintage wristwatch case, while its top and bottom ends are finished with original components rescued from an antique alarm clock.

Suspension & Counterweight: The piece suspends from an adjustable metallic zipper collar connected directly to the upper watch case. As a final element of its engineering, the back is weighted by an automatic watch rotor that acts as a kinetic counterweight, ensuring the work interacts with the body in 360 degrees.

Origin: Designed and handcrafted in our Miami Beach studio.
