Beautiful art
I seen an art object of Montblanc.
You show Berd Vaye, and it is amazing art.
Beside of art, i am collecting other art.
Relics, paintings, interesting objects.
How much do Bern Vaye ask for a cube with watch parts?
Is the art available in Europe?
Cheers,

WatchProSite Review: Berd Vaye Sculptures
Moderator Patrick_y considers more lifestyle accessories and reviews the sculptures made of watch parts by Berd Vaye. My home is decorated with horological knick knacks. While I don’t have antique machines like some of our members do, I do have a lot of c...
Yes! I've always got good ideas for Father's Day gifts.
Despite the fact that I'm not a father!
Very interesting Patrick, thanks for sharing this! I'd love to see one of these in the "metal" (or in the "plastic"?), as I wasn't familiar with them ;-)
As for the watch movements involved, it would be a crazy (but fascinating) idea to use some of the best finished parts, in the league of PP/VC/AP or even better of some Indies, who are the best in that area... Perhaps all from our favorite watchmaker. I g...
Thank you FabR!
I agree! That's the part where I'm a little scared. A lot of the ideas we have in mind are very good. But the costs just balloon. Then factor in how much the retail markup is (it's amazing that there's so much value applied to the retail value chain) that...
yea the "ruby" looks cheap
not sure how much using an actual synthetic ruby would be considering these cost thousands of dollars. the ones i've seen the parts do look pretty rough. i still kind of want the watch stand but it's $$$
Everything is SO EXPENSIVE these days...
Agreed. The "hot pink" ruby needs to go away. An actual synthetic ruby wouldn't be terribly expensive. A few Francs. But more if they're olive shaped and beveled (like a ruby that would be available in a Geneva Seal movement).
Value is always in the eye of the beholder...
I can whittle for hours on a wooden sculpture, there will always be a small segment of the population that likes my work but will probably think I'm not the most highly skilled woodworker, a large segment of the population that doesn't like my work, and a...

Sorry for delay!
Oops. I thought I responded already. Apologies for the delay. They're quite expensive. The one that I had was 6 x 6 x 6 inches (about 15 cm cubed) and cost around $2900 USD. Probably around $2500 Euros. But they are beautiful. I would probably put it near...
Better late than never
Good to read it is available for European interested s. Bad to read it is not cheap, but than you get rubbish.
Very expensive indeed!
But very nice! In some ways, it's justifiable. Compared to Baccarat and Lalique, a sculpture of this size would be similarly priced.
Excellent Exposé!
I've seen these before and they are absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, I'd have to reallocate a portion of the annual watch budget. Hmmm. ( Yeah, I'm pretending I actually stick to my budget, lol! )
I pretend too!
I stick to my diet most of the time. And for the most part, I'm mostly successful. But the budget... I'm almost never successful.
