Omega for The Telegraph Magazine, London, UK

Omega invited us to photograph the opening of its new production building at the brand’s headquarters in Bienne — a structure designed by Shigeru Ban. The assignment was a spread for Telegraph Luxury, the bi-annual magazine from Telegraph Media Group. We worked across the building’s public and production spaces: the architecture, the manufacturing floors, the detail of a facility built to the tolerances watchmaking requires.

Two further Omega assignments: the space collection for Vanity Fair, and the Charlie Duke portrait.
