Gyro Dial - Black Number 8

The idea for Byrne Watch came to John in 2015, during a performance of George Balanchine's Apollo at the Opéra Bastille in Paris. That evening he was struck by a tableau in which the dancers, positioned one behind the other, changed places so quickly they gave the impression of being one woman with four different faces.
