穿越时光之旅 | Audemars Piguet 展览 Mathieu Lehanneur 设计

French artist and designer Mathieu Lehanneur was appointed to conceive a special installation that is made of 12 rooms, forming a large ring – an allusion to a watch dial.

In the middle of the circle stands a huge rock, created from cast replicas of those found in Audemars Piguet’s home in the Vallée de Joux.

Around it, twelve doors will open, each revealing a story about Audemars Piguet: from its origins to the 21st century, from watchmaking to contemporary art, from the Vallée de Joux to China.

The themed rooms exhibit a close-up experience of the iconic swiss brand, linking the past to the present.

200 historical and contemporary timepieces are exhibited, transporting visitors on a 141 year-long journey. On display in the mirror room are rare vintage watches that have made milestones in the maison’s history.

Audemars Piguet has always sought to integrate creative vision with technical mastery, as horology, artisanship and artistry have been closely intertwined for centuries.

The brand is pushing a different kind of boundary, having embarked on this journey from Le Brassus to China, and is looking forward to witnessing the encounter between these two very different worlds.
