Drawing on his previous motion experiments, digital artist Ezequiel Pini (aka Six N. Five) and his team conjure a lyrical two-and-a-half minute showcase for Cartier timepieces that premiered at the Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024 event.

Ezequiel Pini: “Since the beginning of this journey I have been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling, and the Cartier Magician project represents the culmination of many creations made over the past few years.

“Through a combination of different techniques and my own universes, a new piece has been born that invites viewers on an enchanting journey through the captivating and unique vision of Cartier watchmaking.

“From the surreal to the sublime, each frame of the film is a testament to the power of digital art to evoke sensations, ignite the imagination, and transport audiences into new realms. With a focus on beauty and a talented team committed to creating something unique, we have crafted a piece that showcases Cartier’s iconic collections and celebrates the art and ingenuity of digital storytelling.”
