BREGUET Commissioned artwork
Breguet Tradition
Audiovisual installation
Movement is a commissioned audiovisual artwork created for the Breguet Tradition showcase.
Interpreting Tradition's intricate, exposed movement through light and sound, it unfolds the passage of time within a space.
The Breguet Tradition showcase and
〈Movement〉
The showcase took place at STRX House. In the basement, Movement unfolded through light and sound.
The watch’s structure becomes space,
its movement becomes light and sound.
We abstracted Tradition’s exposed structure and movement into a spatial framework.
Within the open frame, LED light and sound design interlock to express the passage of time.

Structure and moving components,
visible together.
Abstracting the structure
The exposed structure
is reinterpreted as an open frame.
Light and sound design
LED movement and sound
weave into a single rhythm.

Structure and reflection create
the depth of light
Vertical light is arranged in an open frame, with reflections extending its depth.
4.8 × 4.8 × 2.5 m Steel frame
49 LED bars Vertically arranged light
Light + Reflection Space extending above and below
STRX House basement space
Media room: approx. 11.9 × 7.5 m · Ceiling height on plan: 3 m
The artwork sits centrally across the width, slightly behind the room's midpoint.
The artwork viewed from inside the media room
Through light's speed and density,
composing the movement of time.
The pulses and flow of the vertical LEDs were coordinated with sound.
We exposed the structure and expressed time through the movement of light and sound.
An original score,
light synchronized frame by frame
Sound gives the movement of light rhythm and a sense of space.
We composed original music inspired by the watch movement, arranged it in Ableton, and synchronized it frame by frame with the LEDs’ pulses and flow.
Frame-level synchronization
A spatial performance of light and sound unfolding together
Mixing and mastering for spatial playback Low-frequency weight · High-frequency resonance · Dynamics matching the intensity of light
We shaped the weight of the low end and the high-frequency reverberation, adjusting the dynamics to respond to the intensity of the light.
Mixing and mastering were designed for spatial playback, so that light and sound feel like a single continuous flow.
