Petitpierre + OM Mechanics
Pour ce projet, nous avons eu le plaisir de filmer Olivier Mory, fondateur d’OM Mechanics et maître horloger reconnu, basé à La Chaux-de-Fonds, berceau de la tradition horlogère suisse. Réputé pour son excellence technique et son esprit d’innovation, Olivier développe également son propre marque de montre—capturer son univers à la caméra fut un véritable privilège.
Macro and wide angle
We filmed over a full day with a two-camera setup: a Sony A7S III for the wide shots and a Sony FX30 for the close-ups. Our lighting kit allowed us to maintain a consistent mood and visual clarity, while the RØDE Wireless GO system ensured crisp, smooth sound capture.
After filming on location, we returned to the studio to record detailed macro shots, shot with a collapsible lightbox and a turntable-ideal for showcasing the fine craftsmanship of each tool in motion.
With two operators on set and a clear narrative vision, the result is a polished and captivating video series that combines pedagogy, precision, and personality, just like Olivier himself.
