Jaeger-LeCoultre and Roy Wang Present the Dragon of Time

Jaeger-LeCoultre welcomes light painter Roy Wang to its Made of Makers family and celebrates the art of precision with a new artistic collaboration.Light is perhaps one of the single most important elements of human vision. It facilitates the creation of images in our minds and forms the basis of our perception. Without it, the wondrous creations of nature and artisans are imperceptible.

Roy Wang : Precision is very important for me, too, especially when the light strokes are invisible to me during the process. I control the light through muscle memory and spatial memory. I was a sportsman before, and I dedicated my time to practicing my basic skills. I did the same when I first started with light painting in 2010. I spent so much time painting a single shape. With practice and knowing that practice makes perfect, I can draw whatever I want now with maybe one or two attempts.

CR: Photography has been a long-time inspiration for the manufacture. We saw the canvas camera, and we also have a partnership with the Museum of Photography in France, so it’s an artform that is very present in Jaeger-LeCoultre. With Roy’s light painting, we come across a modern and new interpretation of photography. I love to see the evolution of the Maison’s relationship with this art form. It’s very meaningful.

CR: Seeing the centuries-old Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture open up to another culture, another art form, is very touching. The best moment was seeing Wang’s dragon flying through the corridors because it’s a symbol of how two worlds of technical expertise, artistic expression, and two cultures can meet each other and give a whole different perspective on their artistic expression.Your work involves an element of the unknown, as you rely on spatial awareness and muscle memory.
