Audemars Piguet is holding an exhibition titled "More Than Watches" at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, Tokyo, from Saturday, October 19, 2019, to Monday, November 4 (a public holiday). The number of visitors has been strong, and the results have already far exceeded the target. The exhibition will end in just three days, so for watch fans who have not yet attended, it is worth visiting during the three-day weekend.
Audemars Piguet is holding an event at Tokyo Midtown
This exhibition will introduce the 144-year history of the manufacture and will feature over 150 watches, ranging from historically significant vintage watches to current models, carefully selected from the Audemars Piguet Heritage Collection, while also providing an opportunity to encounter and experience the craftsmanship that has been passed down through the generations. The story of Audemars Piguet's artisans, who have continued to hone their craftsmanship and hone their skills for generations to create unconventional trends, will be a fresh insight for watch enthusiasts.
To master the mold. To break the mold.
The exhibition space was designed by French designer Matthieu Lehanneur, and features numerous artworks by renowned artists such as Ryoji Ikeda, Alexandre Joly, and Dan Holdsworth. The exhibition attempts to visualize craftsmanship and the essence of time through the lens of contemporary art. Audemars Piguet, a sponsor of the famous Art Basel, supports cultural exchange between creators from the different fields of watches and contemporary art, while also realizing the spirit of its theme, "To break the rules, you must first master them."
Vintage watches that watch enthusiasts will adore
The exhibition space will be divided into 12 rooms and will showcase the major milestones in watchmaking technology and design that Audemars Piguet has inherited since its founding. 150 carefully selected watches from the Audemars Piguet collection will be on display, including timepieces with particularly avant-garde designs and complex mechanisms developed by the brand, such as chronographs, grand complications, chiming mechanisms and astronomical mechanisms.
