The exhibition was designed by renowned Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who has twice won the Award of Excellence from the ID Annual Design Review. He also designed the Cartier Time Art in Zurich and Singapore.
To distinguish the exhibition from the previous two, Yoshioka installed 150,000 plastic fiber wires with a diameter of 2 millimeters in the room with the two concept timepieces, a presentation he terms "The Gate".
"When going through The Gate, the design gives people the feeling that they are walking from the present into the future," said Yoshioka.
As a designer who combines modernity with creative materials, Yoshioka's most important works are exhibited in permanent collections in the world's best-known museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre National d' Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris.
The exhibition is also a part of the celebration program to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France.
