As part of our Special Edition “Reflections on Time”, we offered some well-known names from the worlds of watchmaking, design and art “carte blanche” (White Group - brand design, Eric Giroud and Alexis Guillier). They had a blank piece of paper on which they could express themselves on the subject of time however they wished. The result is a pleasingly eclectic mix of visual and philosophical contributions that enhance our feature articles on the subject of time in this issue. You can discover these “cartes blanches” in this specially compiled flip book along with aphorisms on time from Seneca, Bob Dylan, Virginia Woolf, Pierre de Ronsard, Edmund Husserl, Albert Einstein, Taisen Deshimaru, Heraclitus, Abel Gance, Henri Bergson, Dan Parlagreco.
