FRÉDÉRIC IMBERT

Born in Monaco, now living in France with his family near Paris.

Frédéric’s passion for electronics and complex horology has led to the creation of a truly unique aesthetic concept in contemporary art, connecting together Art and Science, while bridging the gap between vintage and modern.

Since his very first drawing in 2002, Frédéric has been designing limited editions of art pieces with no compromise, as he had always dreamed them.

For this purpose, he is in constant quest for the most wanted and iconic electronic pieces to imagine his collections.

Through the meticulous interplay of second-by-second transformations, his creations come alive with a symphony of illuminations.

The enchanting dance of orange lights, animated digits and sparkling effects, create dynamic visual rhythms marking the unique signature of his collections.

Several inspiration sources are at the origin of his collections: give a new life to authentic and historical components from the 80’s, the very first microprocessor that made history, famous shapes of buildings over the world, or the use of original riveted metal frames from the Eiffel Tower...

Frédéric Imbert is passionate about electronics and clockmaking. He likes to mess around with clock mechanisms, but he’s deadly serious when it comes to electronic components. “When most people see these components, they see them for exactly what they are: products used in industry. I imagine the things they could become." Ever since he was a teenager this engineer has been collecting iconic and historical chips and other wonderful pieces that he finds so fascinating. “I spent a long time trying to imagine how I could combine my two passions to create works of art.”

Mad about clockmaking, he decided to transform his collection of strange and iconic objects into highly desirable timepieces, “masterpieces that evoke the passing of time, but also actually work.” The unique or limited series clocks are born in the secret haven of his artist’s studio, a collection of rare and surprising objects inspired by the world’s largest cities. As each second ticks by, Frédéric’s clocks display their progressive and random, orange-lit illuminations, twinkling animated numbers and rhythmic flashes.
