At BASELWORLD 2013 in Switzerland known as an international trade show of watch and jewellery, the new stand of SWAROVSKI designed by Tokujin Yoshioka was presented.

'Wings of Sparkle'

SWAROVSKI stand is an immense circular stand that covers more than 2,000m2 over two levels, taken up its residence within the fair's new hall.

The stand is entirely surrounded by a 7 meter high curved wall of 155 meters circumference. This is made of 253,231 reflectors with a mirrored surface that symbolize the facets so characteristic of Swarovski, and on these 60 mm reflectors, 22,856 LED lights were positioned on the Sparkle wall.

In the stand, its watch and fashion jewelry collections are displayed, and it is a poetic reference to Swarovski's brand signature concept. Visitors enter the world of Swarovski by being veiled with light of luminance and immerse in a bath of light. This fascinating glow also evokes images of a swan on a lake spreading its wings gracefully.

With the great curvature and the dynamic space of lights, the visitors are enveloped in the sparkle and experience the light itself as if entering into the dazzling crystal and expresses Swarovski's ' world of luminance ' with its pursuit of beauty.

"The passage of time marked by the luminance of crystal."

SWAROVSKI has presented a new watch "LAKE OF SHIMMER"-AVANT Time N˚3 designed by Tokujin Yoshioka.

The watch marks the passage of time by the luminance of the dial of the watch, which is consisted of one piece of twelve faceted crystal.

Inspired by the facade of the SWAROVSKI stand that Tokujin has designed in 2009 for Baselworld, the fine bracelet of this watch reinterprets the scenery as if the sunlight reflects on the surface of the lake, and emits the luminance.

The watch, distinctly representing SWAROVSKI's essence of the poetic luminance, and the elegance, has been born.
