Thanks for the report and the additional information about the talks. The book published to accompany the exhibition is well worth having.

The photographs by Guy Lucas de Peslouan of the watches in the show are superb and perfect for some drooling. The book's production quality is up there with excellent art books. In addition, many of the texts presenting the watchmakers participating offer interesting details, like those on Asaoka and Flageollet (other texts are rather meager, e.g., about Ferrier). Asaoka is particularly well featured, with three of his watches in the show and the book.

A counterpoint would be that these beautiful works of art will no longer be appreciated by many in the future. Most Millennials do not care for heavy classic/antique French furniture of any period. The Millennials are starting to inherit this heavy classi...
