Fantastic---must go!

Waste of time? Hmm, that was pretty much the opposite of my take. It was fantastic!

For one, the fact that it is not crowded is a plus. Each watch/grouping of watch is in a case and the cases are arranged in such a way that you can see both all the angles of the watch including the back. Less crowds mean you can take you time to really observe each piece. 


For two, where else can you see all these in one place? Daniels, Smith, Ferrier, Dufour, Hajime Asaoka, Christophe Claret, Ludovic Ballouard, De Bethune, Gathier, Halter, Christian Klings, Roth and Voutilainen.

Ohh yea, and it is free...

This exhibition exceeded my expectations--and I was not even there when some of the watchmakers themselves dropped in.

Only a handfull of watches are on show, all of them in glass enclosed display cases. Cant see the watches closeup or handle them. The brands do not have anyone there. Don’t be bothered. Waste of time.

benlee338, I'm sorry for your experience but to be clear, this is not a commercial showcase. A reference book about Independent watchmakers was also produced. It is an exhibition of horological art by independent watchmakers. The world tour pulled togethe...

But I don't see anyone there, only guards in suits. Each display case has a write up of the watch and that's it. As the watches are all inside their glass box, I can't even see them up close. I took some photos and left after 20 mins. A total waste of tim...
