Patek Philippe presents an exhibition dedicated to its 174-year history as well as its heritage in the domain of haute horlogerie at the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung.
The exhibition, that will take place on October 17 to 27, 2013, is based upon three pillars: the museum, arts and crafts, and the workshops. The museum section comprises unique and rare pieces from over 500 years of European watchmaking history, directly imported from the museum in Geneva.
“We are coming to Munich because this city prizes the values on which the Patek Philippe success story is based: tradition and innovation, appreciation of sublime artisanship, love of art and culture. By presenting “KunstWerkUhr” in Munich, we are hoping to attract many international watch enthusiasts. The Bavarian capital is worth a trip even after the world-famous “Oktoberfest,” said Thierry Stern, the company's president and fourth-generation member of the owning family.
Patek Philippe’s approach to watchmaking is exemplified by the Star Caliber 2000 – the third most complicated timepiece ever been crafted. Its movement, consisting of some 1100 components, was manufactured and assembled in the Geneva workshops.
The historical collections and live craftsmanship demonstration, are among the main attractions of “KunstWerkUhr” alongside other parts of the exhibition such as a cinema, a multimedia area or a full-scale 24-hour filmed Geneva lake view. It is a unique experience for the whole family.
