It'south a funny matter, time. Since the dawn of civilisation, Mankind has tried to quantify its existence by scaling down its vastness, measuring information technology, dividing it into sequences. We've invented sundials, calendars and wristwatches to nautical chart the passage of time. We've even created anti-aging cosmetics in an attempt to 'reverse time'.

Time, of course, cannot be reversed. Or controlled. It does, yet, have the ability to stir upward powerful emotions and memories. Call up of all the instances you began a chat with "Recollect the time…?"
This is the premise of a new Hermes exhibition that opens today (Fri, May 24) and runs until Sunday, Jun 2, 2022 at the Level 1 atrium of Ngee Ann City. Titled Time, A Hermes Object, the exhibition comes hot on the heels of the just-ended Hermes Heritage – In Motion presentation at Liat Towers.

Rather than showcase objects or dioramas in chronological guild, Hermes'due south 'fourth dimension observatory' invites visitors to feel the emotional and sensorial aspects of time. Lose yourself in a colourful labyrinth (representing different time zones – geddit?) where fourth dimension behaves in foreign ways.
Interactive elements, such equally mysterious pulsating lights, signal you to play with time. Or is it the other manner effectually? As you progress through the spaces, sound recordings played on loop reveal underground conversations and strange stories. Watches appear and disappear in their display cases.
Linger should a particular watch catch your fancy – on show are this yr'south novelties, the Arceau 50'heure de la lune and Galop d'Hermes, too equally new iterations of Hermes's bestselling Carre H and Cape Cod lines – or drift past if none do.
Visitors are free to speed upwards or slow down every bit they explore the exhibition, of grade. Because isn't that the whole point? And, at the end of your visit, remind yourself of the ephemerality of time. Later all, this exhibition won't be effectually for long.
Fourth dimension, A Hermes Object runs from May 24 to Jun 2 at the Level i Atrium of Ngee Ann City. Admission is free.
