Written originally as part of The Distempered Clavier, this playful piano miniature travels through all 24 major and minor keys, its shifting mechanisms evoking the winding, ticking gears and jeweled complications of a Swiss watch.

For A Clockwork Swiss, the music becomes the clockwork heart of the film, moving through its miniature world with precision, complexity and wit.

The final score will expand the piano original into a full orchestral work, while preserving its intricate mechanical character.

THE SLATE

A CLOCKWORK SWISS

Today, inside a monumental Swiss factory, master technicians build an 18-metre luxury mechanical watch—a feat of micrometre precision at a near-impossible scale.

IN PRE-PRODUCTION

MOONBASE CHF-II

In 2037, high in the Lunar Alps, a Swiss astronaut and master watchmaker builds the first luxury mechanical watch from 24K lunar gold—while NASA constructs humanity’s lunar future far below.

MECHANICA HELVETICA

In AD 707, a Dark Age Helvetian master craftsman creates an advanced mechanical luxury watch whose archaeological discovery thirteen centuries later confounds modern horologists.
