Fiona Krüger’s Skull Collection is an exploration of time from the human perspective, understood through our own sense of mortality.
"Life is precious to us because it is ephemeral."

The skull is the ultimate symbol of life, death and human experience — universally recognised and significant to horological history. From the astronomical clock in Prague, to the Skull–shaped pocket watches in the Patek Philippe museum’s Historical collection, this ubiquitous symbol is an embodiment of time itself.
"If I’m working with the best people, and using the finest materials, then my design must be worthy of the time, skill and materials involved in its creation. It must be meaningful — beyond me, my name or my own ideas. Something which, in 200 years when I’m no longer around, people might see and it will still be relevant. That’s what the pieces in the Patek Philippe Museum’s historical collection were to me, and I have that same philosophy behind everything I create."
