[The first solo new exhibition will be held!] An independent watchmaker Academy Academy | Watch Life News

The "Independent Clock Academy" is a historical association formed mainly by watchmakers who have excellent techniques for the purpose of inheriting watch technology.There are about 30 members around the world, but there are famous watchmakers such as Philip Dufo and Japanese, such as Masahiro Kikuno and Hajime Asaoka.In a word, it is difficult to describe the charm of the watchmaker's watchmaker in a word, but to mention it is a “original watchmaking”.The work that reflects each clock philosophy, such as a watch that focuses on productivity and focuses on handmade, and a clock with a strange mechanism, has a unique charm.Therefore, there are so many watch lovers who pay attention to their trends.

そんな同アカデミーではこれまで、新作発表の場としてバーゼルワールドに参加していたのだが、今回、初めて単独での新作展示会「マスターズ オブ オロロジー」がスイス・ジュネーブで行われることが発表された。ジュネーブは16世紀に時計製造が開始され、1602年には最初の時計職人組合が設立されるなど、スイスにおける時計製造の中心地。また1845年にPATEK & Cie（現在のパテック フィリップ）が設立された場所の近くで、周辺には1540年以来、“キャビノチェ”と呼ばれた時計師達が多く住んできたサン・ジェルベの古い歴史地区があるなど、時計製造の歴史を感じる場所での開催となる。

Considering the current situation, it may be difficult to go to the site, but I would like to look forward to the gemning time piece announcement.
