Nine of the world’s leading creatives and artisans will be showcased in a series of short films commissioned by The Hour Glass. The video series – titled The Lives Of Artists and set to screen over the coming months – aims to document those at the top of their fields and the unwavering dedication to their individual craft.

Premiering tomorrow night (10pm, April 22, Youtube Hour Glass channel) will be a video portrait of MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser, followed by a live Q&A between The Hour Glass Group managing director Michael Tay and Büsser on The Hour Glass’ Instagram account (10.30pm AEST).

The Q&A will field questions via the comments section here.

In the coming weeks the series then moves to detail the following eight creatives, in order of appearance: British architect Sir David Adjaye OBE RA; Akrivia founder Rexhep Rexhepi; American artist, Daniel Arsham; Dutch designer, Wieki Somers; British watchmaker Roger W. Smith; industrial designer, Marc Newson; Head of Nendo design firm, Oki Sato and Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei co-founders of Urwerk.
