Stephen Forsey gave his presentation in French, translated into Japanese, using an English power point presentation... switching to English for our small after event discussion ;-). I was interested to hear directly about the "Le Garde Temps - Naissance d'une Montre" project, and maybe because of all the watchmaking students present, that part of the presentation seemed to resonate around the room.

On a personal level, I enjoyed hearing thoughts on the convergence of watch making and contemporary art, obviously through the co-creation of Art Piece 1... but also as an approach.
Stephen Forsey is a real gentleman and I was impressed that he took some time after the presentation to talk about the general topics... and the GMT he was wearing ;-).

Thanks very much to Mr. Matsumoto for his personal welcome to the event.
Just being with all the watch students could not help but bring a smile...
Note: most of the photos and video in the original post were by Mrs. "Bose"... I have included a couple of mine here...
