How do you capture the character of a watch in graphite? | The Loco Classic

How do you capture the character of a watch in graphite? British artist Sophie Scott-Lewis creates hyper-realistic drawings of watches, bringing every surface and detail to life in pencil. In this interview, she talks about the process behind her original artworks of the C1 Loco Classic – from measuring the watch and building up the dial’s grain to knowing when to put the pencil down. The front view took around 60 hours to complete. The movement detail on the reverse took a further 25 to 30. Watch Sophie bring the Loco Classic to life and hear how she turned a fascination with independent watchmaking into a full-time career.
