COLLABORATION
AN ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
As part of the Made of Makers series, Jaeger-LeCoultre has partnered with British musician TØKIO M¥ERS to compose a soundtrack exclusively for The Golden Ratio Musical Show, an original symphony called “Timeless”.
ARTWORK
A COMPOSITION IN FOUR MOVEMENTS
TØKIO M¥ERS’s new symphony tells the story of the Golden Ratio in four chapters, from its presence in nature, to the scientific examination of its mystical properties; and from its ubiquity in timeless architecture and art to its impact on contemporary design. Amplifying the golden ratio theme, he translated the mathematical formula 1.618 into a tempo of 161.8 beats per minute.
A UNIQUE STYLE
Using tradition as his creative foundation, TØKIO M¥ERS harnesses the craft and discipline of his classical music training in order to take it in new directions. He designs and produces his own live performances, capturing the visual potential of music and pushing it to new limits with lighting and pyrotechnics. Visually spectacular and emotionally absorbing, his work is redefining what classical music can be.
Composing for Jaeger-LeCoultre was so natural because we're looking for the same thing; to reinvent the classic and find what is universal and timeless.
THE GOLDEN RATIO MUSICAL SHOW
The original symphony created by TØKIO M¥ERS will be the soundtrack of The Maison’s Golden Ratio Musical Show. Conceived by Jaeger-LeCoultre as part of its wider mission to bring inspiring and original experiences of the world of watchmaking to audiences around the world, The Golden Ratio Musical Show is an opportunity to discover the story of the Reverso in entirely new ways.
After a debut in Shanghai, The Golden Ratio Musical Show will be traveling for a series of global Jaeger-LeCoultre events.
