Time to Watches gathers over eighty-five independent watch brands and creators to showcase contemporary watchmaking. The presentation focuses on timepieces and objects that explore design, technical innovation and artisanal craft, from compact mechanical constructions to conceptual editions. A village-like layout frames varied atmospheres where exhibitions, demonstrations and hands-on workshops invite close attention to materiality, finishing and the makers’ processes. The event reveals how independent practice negotiates tradition, experimentation and the social rituals surrounding time.

23 January – 30 April

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

13 March – 16 May

Geneva-based artist Christian Robert-Tissot transforms everyday words, slogans and street expressions into bold visual artworks. By shifting these familiar phrases out of their usual context, he reveals their rhythms, ambiguities and hidden meanings, turning ordinary language into playful reflections on daily life.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

1 – 6 May

“Métamorphose.” The exhibition aims to bring together artists and artworks inspired by the theme of spring in all its forms and interpretations. Each artistic contribution brings a distinct voice to this shared reflection on transformation and renewal.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026

Pleasing the Spirits invites you on a journey through the Barbier-Mueller Collection, showcasing artworks from around the globe. Curated by Séverine Fromaigeat and Paul Maheke, the exhibition offers an open-ended exploration of diverse objects, awakening spirits and uncovering territories to discover.

12 – 25 March

Eight artists — Fernando de la Rocque, Jean Marie Fahy, Dara Maillard, Lyz Parayzo, Wes Roque, Almeida da Silva, Vivianne Van Singer and Martin Widmer — examine paper as a deliberate field of possibility. Treating sheets as material and gesture, they deploy drawing, cutting, layering and mark‑making to activate intimacy, fragility and resilience. The works reclaim paper as presence rather than support, exploring immediacy, vulnerability and the poetic potential of minimal means.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.
