Drawing inspiration from the timeless essence of Paris, where innovation has thrived for generations, Atelier WOCS introduces an unparalleled artwork harmoniously blending the audacious spirit of aviation, architectural splendor, and the refined art of horology.

The year was 1901. Alberto Santos-Dumont's No.6 Zeppelin soared around the Eiffel Tower, a voyage representing humanity's unwavering quest for greatness. This architectural marvel, the Eiffel Tower, not only serves as a symbol of French ingenuity but also embraces the legacy of brilliance. Engraved on its façade are names of luminaries chosen by Gustave Eiffel, celebrating the essence of French scientific and engineering prowess. Painted in their restored original gold hue, these engravings shimmer with the spirit of discovery.

Delicately woven into this visual narrative is the prototype of the Cartier de Santos watch. Its genesis was spurred by Santos-Dumont's challenge to Louis Cartier, leading to the creation of one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men, symbolizing Cartier Maison's intertwining of luxury with function.

The scene further unfolds to reveal the "Ecole Militaire de Paris" at the Tower's base, a nod to academic discipline and Parisian heritage. Adjacently, in Warsaw Park, stands the sculpture 'La Jeunesse' by Pierre Poisson, capturing the vibrancy of youthful ambition.

This artwork, exquisitely designed and unparalleled in its creation, is destined to stand as a captivating piece of history for global art aficionados.
