Description

This exhibition "TOUCHING INFINITY: ART BEYOND TIME" is presented by ART SHANGHAI in collaboration with the world's leading authority on the art of timekeeping—the Musée international d’horlogerie, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and The Watch Library. Featuring over 160 extraordinary treasured pieces, it traces the epic of civilization from the 14th century to the present day.

The over-176-year-old BUND 33 has been transformed into a "Temple of Time," narrating the evolution of the concept of time measurement and unfolding vivid chapters of beauty achieved through exquisite craftsmanship.

Highlights include:

  • A Renaissance-era interdisciplinary masterpiece tracing the origins of astronomy and mechanical timekeeping—a reconstruction of the first mechanical planetary clock in human history, one of only eight remaining in the world.
  • The world's first "Mystery Clock", invented around 1860 by the "Father of Modern Magic" French illusionist and inventor Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin.
  • Enlightenment-era "artificial intelligence"—exemplary collections of automata from the 17th to the 19th centuries.
  • Iconic moments in the history of horology, featuring exceptional timepieces that have accompanied humanity’s exploration of the unknown.
  • Representative works from centuries of watchmaking legacies, including Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Cartier, Jaquet Droz, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Tag Heuer, Ulysse Nardin, Vacheron Constantin, and other distinguished houses.
