In the heart of Manhattan, the Bucherer TimeMachine flagship carries forward a decades-long legacy as one of New York’s premier destinations for exceptional timepieces and fine jewelry. Beyond its renowned collections, the landmark boutique celebrates the art of collecting through immersive cultural experiences that extend well beyond watchmaking.
This July, Bucherer 1888, in collaboration with Art Angels, presents Time Capsules, a contemporary art exhibition in New York City featuring artists Paul Rousso and Cedric Sequerra (SQRA). Featuring evocative sculptural and photographic works, the exhibition explores the deeper significance of objects beyond their physical form, revealing their connection to memory, cultural identity, and the passage of time.
Celebrating Objects of Value
Collecting is more than the pursuit of rare objects, it is an expression of identity, memory, passion, and personal history. Whether inspired by art, watches, sport, culture or the stories we choose to preserve, every collection reflects the moments that shape us and the values that endure.
Through photography and sculpture, Time Capsules explores the emotional connection between people and the objects they treasure, celebrating craftsmanship, rarity, nostalgia, and the enduring spirit of collecting.
Paul Rousso’s Sculptural and Media Vision
A master of scale and transformation, Paul Rousso elevates familiar materials into captivating contemporary sculptures. Through digital printing, heat-formed acrylic, and meticulous sculptural techniques, he transforms currency, magazines, and printed ephemera into oversized, hyperreal compositions that appear to emerge from the wall. By reimagining objects tied to commerce, media, and everyday life, Rousso invites new perspective for the items that surround us, embedding them with nostalgia, cultural memory, and deeper meaning.
The Photographic Stories of Cedric Sequerra (SQRA)
From vintage toys and sports memorabilia to books, movies, and cultural artifacts, Cedric Sequerra transforms private collections from around the world into large-scale photographic artworks he calls “pop culture time capsules.” As a collector himself, Sequerra brings a personal understanding of the nostalgia and meaning attached to the pieces we choose to preserve. Through his immersive compositions, he captures not only the collections themselves, but the stories and identities woven into them.
Now through the end of summer, Bucherer invites you to experience Time Capsules, a celebration of the stories, memories, and personal connections that give treasured objects their lasting significance.
