Letter to Time · Bespoke commissions

A Letter to Time,
created for you.

A personal watch, an occasion, a story to put into words. A bespoke Letter to Time brings drawing and handwriting together in an original work on paper. Begin by exploring its possible scale.

PAPER / TRUE RELATIVE PROPORTIONSFixed field · 180 cm wide

Accurate paper proportions · illustrative surrounds. The 180 cm field stays fixed when you change formats or finish. The wider field leaves room for all four illustrative surrounds without overlap. Frame and passepartout bands are schematic screen treatments, not measured external dimensions or a life-size display.

Choose the paper format
Study a frame tone

Colour studies only, applied to the schematic surrounds. They do not describe a verified frame material, product or available option.

Gold tone · generous surround · illustrative study.

A3 · 29.7 × 42 cm

Approximately twice the paper area of A4. The composition is developed for the commission.

The conversation before the work

Your watch. Your story.
A composition of its own.

Tell the Studio about the timepiece, the occasion and any words you would like the work to hold. The format and presentation can then be discussed in relation to the composition.

The sheets above compare paper dimensions. The composition is created for each commission; the existing De Bethune artwork is a reference to the artistic language, rather than an image offered in four sizes.

A timepiece to draw, a letter to write

Prefer a direct conversation?

Write to the Studio with the selected paper format. You can discuss the watch, the story and the presentation without completing the structured brief first.

Paper size & framed presentation

The dimensions shown are artwork dimensions, before the surrounding passepartout and frame. Framed dimensions depend on the presentation agreed for the commission.
