Cartier’s Time Art exhibition celebrates the beauty of keeping time in all its myriad forms, and it is now making its third ever appearance at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai, China. Among the more than 180 timepieces in the exhibit are 151 historic pieces from the Cartier Collection. The oldest piece on display is an 1874 chatelaine watch. Time Art was first held in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2011 and then traveled to Singapore’s Art Science Museum. The show runs until Oct. 12, 2014.
