Weekend Shootout - Hour Glass Tempus

Went to the Hour Glass Tempus at the Raffles City Convention Centre not to look for my next timepiece but to check out the android automatons by Francois Junod. These highly precise and detailed dolls are created with similar mechanisms and technical prowess used in the creation of Swiss watches.


Highly life-like, these dolls are able to imitate human movements and gestures with precise accuracy and detail. It's really hard to explain it in text or pictures and you really have to see these creations to appreciate them!



And of course, such a high profile event would attract a high profile audience. Not only were the most classiest watches on display, cars belonging to the event folks and prospective buyers were also on display outside the Swissotel...
