Angels have always featured prominently in the DeLaneau universe and in our designs. Our angels are usually depicted in monochrome, but the idea here was to explore the Renaissance style, with its pursuit of physical realism and use of unnatural colouring and lighting.

This creation majestically showcases the combination of two techniques that are valuable hallmarks of our brand: la peinture miniature sous fondant (miniature painting with flux enamel), a method known as the Geneva technique, and paillonné enamelling.

The idea behind this outstanding creation came from a quote from Jacques Maritain about the possible origin of our inspiration, and how it perhaps comes to us, “whispered into our ear by our guardian angel”. The initial sketches by our artisan enamellist depicted an angel blowing leaves through the sky.

As she started working on the dial itself, the idea of using paillon enamel came to her, and the leaves thus became stars. This moment of inspiration reminds us that enamel is always the element that guides us as we shape our creations. At DeLaneau we benefit from unlimited freedom to express our ideas.
