The "Magnificent Seven" showcases a selection of mixed media watches from prestigious brands such as Chopard, Hermès, and Patek Philippe, each embodying artistic expression through their designs. These timepieces are not merely functional; they serve as canvases that reflect various art forms, from music to literature and architecture. For instance, Hermès' Arceau On Air! features a design inspired by musical instruments, while Chopard's L.U.C Quattro Spirit series draws on Japanese cultural symbols, illustrating how watches can merge craftsmanship with storytelling.

The Glashütte Original Senator Meissen editions celebrate porcelain craftsmanship, while Montblanc's Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon pays homage to theatrical grandeur. Each piece, whether limited edition or non-limited, combines traditional watchmaking techniques with modern artistic visions, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of timekeeping and artistic creativity.
