The art of enamel, the spirit of Japan
I create UKIYO watches and make their Grand Feu enamel dials in my workshop in France. The colours and patterns of Japanese woodblock prints inspire my work.
Kōsai, four shades of enamel
Kōsai is my first collection. I engrave its pure silver dials by hand, then cover them with transparent Japanese enamel. The same pattern is offered in blue, purple, green or black.
Pierre, creator of UKIYO
I invite you to discover the story behind these watches. I write about the people who made a difference, the discoveries that left an impression on me, and what led me to create UKIYO.
Enamel is glass ground into powder, then fused onto metal at high temperature. On my dials, the words “Grand Feu” refer to this firing process.
I start with a sheet of silver to make each dial. These photographs show the stages of production and the tools I use.
