Events
Showing the gesture beyond the workshop.
Events have a precise role: allowing the public, partners and professionals to see the hand at work, the light responding and the correction happening live.
24H du Temps — Besançon
Art de l’Anglage presented watchmaking anglage to the public in Besançon. The point remains clear: make a gesture often hidden inside movements readable.
