As of today, the OAK collection, comprising no fewer than 160 wristwatches, can be admired in the Design Museum in London until May 25th. Yesterday we had an exclusive preview of the exhibition and the watches, and it’s impressive… to say the least! If you’re in London, and if you like wristwatches, you won’t regret spending a few hours learning about some of the rarest (some even unique) timepieces from Patek Philippe, , and several high-end Independent watchmakers.?When we asked Patrick Getreide, owner of some 600+ of the most beautiful, rare, and special wristwatches on the planet (we’re not exaggerating!), why he wanted to showcase a part of his collection in a museum, the answer was simple and straightforward. And also very recognizable! He considers watches to be art, so showcasing them in a museum feels like a natural thing, a logical thing to do. Experts from Patek Philippe and historian Nicholas Foulkes (among others) have been involved in selecting the 160 watches that are showcased as the OAK collection.The set-up of the exhibition is easy, logical and also very practical! Through QR codes next to the displays, you will get a lot of information about each and every watch. And that, of course, adds to the fun.
