Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils Guillaume Marmin's 'Passengers: Through Time' for Stellar Odyssey

Jaeger-LeCoultre has commissioned French visual artist Guillaume Marmin to create 'Passengers: Through Time', an immersive installation for the brand's Stellar Odyssey touring exhibition. The mirrored capsule uses real-time astronomical data—including time of day, moon phases, and geographic coordinates—to generate evolving light and soundscapes. Marmin consulted an astrophysicist from the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble to source the data. The work is the second chapter of his ongoing 'Installation Passe' series and was inspired by a visit to Jaeger-LeCoultre's Atelier d'Antoine in the Vallée de Joux, where he observed the precision of watch mechanisms. The brand has a history of collaborations with artists such as Zimoun, Michael Murphy, and pastry chef Nina Metayer. CEO Catherine Rénier emphasized that the partnership reflects shared values of precision, innovation, and craftsmanship. The Stellar Odyssey exhibition, which also features a collaboration with mixologist Matthias Giroud, will travel to Beijing and then Dubai. Rénier also announced an upcoming partnership with the Reverso line to be unveiled by the end of the year.
