THE SOUND MAKER EXHIBITION

Paying homage to the creative and cultural universe of Jaeger-LeCoultre, The Sound Maker exhibition immerses visitors in the uniquely rich heritage of chiming watches at La Grande Maison. This multi-sensory exhibition is travelling around the world and features a curated selection of the earliest and most historically significant chiming masterworks of the Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Manufacture, together with dozens of documents and archive materials. The Sound Maker exhibition leads visitors on the evolution of chiming timepieces, expressing a century and a half of accumulated expertise from the Maison's origins to the new models.

Discover an exhibition in 3 facets: 

• THE EXHIBITION: A HERITAGE EXHIBITION 
• THE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE: “A LAKE OF SOUND”, AN ARTWORK BY ZIMOUN 
• THE WATCHMAKING EXPERIENCE: ATELIER D’ANTOINE DISCOVERY WORKSHOP

At the heart of the exhibition, discover ‘A Lake of Sound’ an art installation commissioned by Jaeger-LeCoultre from the Swiss contemporary artist, Zimoun. His fascinating work employs simple raw materials and repurposed industrial components, including watch parts – and, in doing so, redefines traditional ideas of sculpture, movement and sound, drawing the audience into an almost transcendent world of sensory experience. Zimoun’s installation creates a unique aural signature for Jaeger-LeCoultre, evoking the sounds of nature and of the Manufacture, and capturing the rippling of light on the surface of the lake seen from the watchmaking ateliers.
