The 'Precision' issue
Artist Owen Gildersleeve was recently tasked with creating a series of intricate paper
sets in which to house a selection of unique watches for Vanity Fair's annual watch report -
On Time.
Themed on 'precision', the report was art directed by Scott Moore, with Owen designing and creating a series of blown up watch parts and tools out of paper, on which the watches themselves could be displayed.
Each paper set was then brought to life by photographer Aaron Tilley to create the bold final imagery.
The report and feature cover artworks (shot with real lasers!)
One of the four spreads Owen designed to show off the watches.
