Iconic Performance Aston Martin
Micro-Engraving on the Head of a Platinum Pin

Details

  • Artist: Graham Short
  • Medium: Micro-Engraving on the Head of a Platinum Pin
  • Display: Bespoke Wooden Case with Integrated Microscope

 

In this exceptional work of miniature craftsmanship, Graham Short has engraved the words "Aston Martin, Iconic Performance" onto the head of a platinum pin, accompanied by a finely detailed emblematic motif. The entire engraving is so impossibly small it cannot be seen with the naked eye and reveals its precision only under magnification.

 

Created using ultra-fine needles and months of meticulous, controlled work, the piece captures the spirit of Aston Martin's engineering excellence while showcasing Short's world-renowned mastery of micro-engraving. Presented in a handcrafted wooden case with an integrated microscope, this artwork transforms microscopic detail into a celebration of luxury, performance, and human skill.
