Macro Cinematography

A cinematic study of the Adriatica Skeleton Automatic A8328, built around the visible architecture of the Landeron 24 movement.

The skeleton dial presented a specific optical challenge – shooting through two planes of sapphire crystal while maintaining sharp focus on moving components at macro distances. Rose-gold indices and blued-steel hands required separate lighting passes to control specular behaviour across different surface finishes within the same frame.

The exhibition caseback reveals the decorated rotor and movement bridges through a second sapphire window. Filmed from both sides, the piece becomes a study of transparency – mechanical rhythm visible from every angle.

Produced in controlled studio conditions with precision macro optics. Every frame is designed to resolve the tension between the watch's bold proportions and the fine detail of its open-worked movement.
Collection: Skeleton Automatic
Movement: Landeron 24, automatic, Swiss Made
