CENTS

1868 - The first wrist watch has been manufactured by Patek Philippe & Co

Planned as a single piece for female customers it has been bought by the Hungarian countess Koscowicz in 1876.

To read the most precious specimen, the countess had to fold up ostentatiously the great diamond, mounted just above the dial.

It should last for decades to see men wearing wrist watches instead of pocket watches.

Gestalten.tv had a precious opportunity to speak with the artist at his exhibition in Berlin’s Capitain Petzel Gallery.

Featured in the exhibition The Age of Collage, his topical work is now on display at Gestalten Space in Berlin until January 12, 2014. The accompanying book of the same title also takes an insightful behind-the-scenes look at those working with this interdisciplinary and cross-media approach.
