The watchmaking brand announced its participation in the third edition of the Homo Faber Biennial in Venice in September. Homo Faber celebrates the savoir-faire and unique stories of talented crafts-people from around the globe, honouring the priceless human skill behind the creation of beautiful, handcrafted objects.
Designed by film director and interior architect Luca Guadagnino, along with architect Nicolò Rosmarini, the event, titled The Journey of Life, will feature the work of more than 400 highly skilled craftspeople from 50 countries, in 10 themed exhibition spaces. The Homo Faber Biennial will take place on the island of S.Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, from 1 to 30 September 2024.
Showcasing the exceptional savoir-faire of its Métiers Rares atelier and reflecting a core value of the Maison, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been chosen as a participant in the “Nature” exhibition. It will underline the inheritance of traditional crafts, the value of passing down savoir-faire from generation to generation, as well as the influence of symbolic imagery throughout history.
Animating the watchmaker’s exhibit and offering visitors rare insight into precious craft skills, craftsmen from the Manufacture will give live demonstrations of the crafts of enamelling, engraving, gemsetting and watchmaking at different times throughout the month-long event. To celebrate the talent and accumulated savoir-faire in both watchmaking and the decorative arts, Jaeger-LeCoultre will launch three new Reverso limited-edition timepieces during the Homo Faber Biennial.
