Cartier - Cartier Tankothèque

Cartier's Tankothèque was a travelling exhibition of display cabinets, each combining a physical watch presentation with screens built into the furniture. The cabinets used a mix of transparent, mirror and standard professional panels, and the exhibition had to run unattended for twelve hours a day.

We built the playback and control layer. Video content was sequenced across the 16 screens so that clips fired one after another rather than in isolation, the machines powered themselves on and off on a schedule set per venue, and the whole installation ran off a single show server on a dedicated wired network. We specified the network hardware, produced the installation schematic used by the fitters, and supported the furniture build on hardware integration.

The exhibition was fabricated in France, installed first in Antwerp, and shown in Tokyo a few months later, with night installs and remote maintenance between the two runs.
