AP Talks Vintage Watch Aesthetics

Reinterpreting time. How can the past shape the present without simply repeating it?
In this latest AP Talks, AP Heritage and Museum Specialist Clara and AP Museum Curator Dave explore this question alongside Artistic architects & vintage watch collectors Ryan and Adam Goldston.

Set against the Art Deco backdrop of Villa Empain, the discussion reflects on the enduring appeal of shape watches and special displays, and how archival designs continue to inspire contemporary creations such as the Neo Frame Jumping Hour.
