UBS House of Craft debuted Icons of Time, the second exhibition in the global cultural series, from the world’s leading wealth manager. The exhibition opened with an unforgettable evening with welcoming remarks by Brian Hull, Executive Vice Chairman Americas at UBS, that brought together horology experts, local tastemakers, and timepiece aficionados for an immersive celebration of design, innovation, and storytelling. Curated by Ben Clymer, founder and president of hodinkee, and presented in collaboration with UBS, Icons of Time offers guests an intimate look at twelve iconic watches created—each a symbol of mastery and cultural influence.
Beginning with a thought-provoking talk amongst global collectors, acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee and Ben Clymer, the night later featured a lively conversation between Ben Clymer and ESPN’s SportsCenter host Gary Striewski, ruminating on building a personal collection and investing in iconic timepieces, followed by a cocktail reception. Guests experienced live demonstrations from master watchmakers and gained behind-the-scenes insight into the stories that shaped these legendary watches.
