THE TRAVELLING EXHIBITION
ART INSTALLATION
‘ORIGIN’ BY YIYUN KANG
At the heart of the exhibition, visitors will encounter Origin, a 3D-video installation by the Korean artist Yiyun Kang. Exclusively created for Jaeger-LeCoultre, Origin is a tribute to the ubiquity of the Golden ratio in the world around us and present in the iconic Reverso design. Through its narrative, her installation builds a parallel between the symmetry in nature and the geometry of Art Deco design as it explores the in-between – between the finite and infinite, reality and unreality, surface and depth, absence and presence.

1931 CAFÉ
THE 1931 CAFÉ BY NINA MÉTAYER

At the end of the Exhibition, visitors will experience the 1931 Café, a quintessential expression of Art Deco style paying homage to Reverso, the icon of Art Deco design. Completing the design of the 1931 Café, a special menu of cakes and pastries has been created by French Chef Nina Métayer, inviting guests to experience the world through different flavours, as well as to enjoy pastries that have been elevated to a finely handcrafted art form.
