French  luxury  brand  Hermès  opened

a  new  exhibition  last  week  at  the

historic  Tanjong  Pagar  Railway

Station.

Designed  by  American  artist  Hilton

features  a  circularwalk-­through

display  in  celebration  of  time  and  the

history  of  Hermès.

A  lightbulb  rotates  around  a  horse-­

shaped  centerpiece,  forming  a

sundial.  Horses,  which  were  Hermes'  first  clients,  are  featured  in  various  parts  of

the  exhibition.  (Yahoo!  photo/Melissa  Law)

Featuring  a  parrot  and  mosaic  cat  made  out  of  leather  scraps,  an  iridescent  rainbow  light  display  and  even  a  room  full  of

quotes  by  McConnico,  visitors  are  taken  on  a  artistic  journey  through  time  to  revisit  milestones  in  Hermès  history.

Amusing  quotes  by  McConnico  describing  the  perception  of  time  fill  the  walls  and

ceilings  of  the  room  called  "Free  Time".  (Yahoo!  photo/Melissa  Law)

69-­year-­old  McConnico,  who  has  worked  with  Hermès    several  times  over  the  years,  has  designed  major  exhibitions  and  even
