Art Of Watchmaking Exhibition by Audemars Piguet at Yuz Museum Shanghai
By SENATUS Editor | 1 December 2016

From 29 October to 13 November, Audemars Piguet presented “To Break the Rules, You Must First Master Them” at the Yuz Museum in Shanghai, an exhibition which showcased the Manufacture’s pioneering spirit in both contemporary art and watchmaking.

For this exhibition, internationally renowned designer Mathieu Lehanneur had created a stunning architectural installation in the form of a large-scale ring embodying a watch dial, with visitors representing imaginary hands. 12 rooms have been incorporated into this exhibition space to showcase the legacy and achievements of the Manufacture.

This is the largest collection of Audemars Piguet timepieces ever to be shown outside of the Museum. The exhibition also explores a selection of horological arts and crafts that the brand has mastered over the centuries.

After Shanghai, "To Break the Rules You Must First Master Them" is set to feature in several other capitals in 2017.
