2024 OSCAR WINNER CILLIAN MURPHY WEARS SAUVEREIGN, HONG KONG-BASED ART AND LUXURY MAISON FOUNDED BY BERTRAND MAK
Best Actor Cillian Murphy wears SAUVEREIGN in his award-winning moment at the 96th Academy Awards in Hollywood, Los Angeles. With a classic and elegant look elevated by SAUVEREIGN’s bespoke HS14 Gem Brooch, the Irish actor celebrates a special occasion with a unique creation emblematic of this achievement.
The SAUVEREIGN bespoke HS14 Gem Brooch was designed by Bertrand Mak, Founder & Chief Creator of SAUVEREIGN, expressively conceived and created for Cillian Murphy in anticipation of the 2024 Oscars Award Ceremony. Inspired by the actor’s leading role in the cinematic masterpiece Oppenheimer, its bespoke design pays homage to the exceptional ability of the world-changing physicist behind the Manhattan Project. The Gem’s minimal yet mesmerising aesthetic alludes to a quiet intensity that is strong but silent. Orchestrating fundamental forms that reveal depth and complex nuances upon closer inspection, the HS14 is reticent yet radiant, dignified, and brilliant.

Made in 18K solid yellow gold, the HS14 is composed of eight concentric trapeziums – the shape of interior components in Oppenheimer’s history altering invention. Meticulously hand-cut, hand-finished, and assembled by legendary grandmaster Kari Voutilainen in Val-de-Travers, Switzerland, the Gem presented a novel and unexpected challenge for the Finnish independent watchmaker. Embellished with sunburst guilloché, a highly precise engraving technique signature to Voutilainen, the surface of each trapezium reveals intricate details that create an array of alluring reflections. As if light rays are emitting from the core, the motif is reminiscent of both the perpetuity of the sun and the blinding flash of beauty right before the arrival of darkness.

On designing the Gem, Bertrand Mak, Founder and Chief creator of SAUVERERIGN, stated, “Enigmatic, composed, and reverberating – these were the words in mind when I envisioned a bespoke object for Cillian Murphy and for this particular occasion. These characteristics not only refer to the respected actor, but I believe are applicable to the complex history as well as character that he brings to life in his performance.”
With a luminescence that brings to mind the 24K gold in which his award is plated, SAUVEREIGN’s HS14 is honoured as the first brooch that the renowned actor has ever chosen to wear at a major industry event.
