The excitement of Pol Bury’s moving sculpture - its articulations; its sounds; the visuals that keep the wearer entranced - is only heightened by its function as jewelry and its ability to be worn. His 'Arcs de cercle sur un carré' Ring, a later improvement upon the first collection that Cartier showcased, is another tally-mark in Bury’s catalogue raisonné and a testament to his creative kinetic sculpture.
