Abstract of: Interlocking glass spiral as building structure of the watch museum “La Maison des Fondateurs”

La Maison des Fondateurs in Le Brassus Switzerland is going to represent the watch making manufacture Audemars Piguet. Audemars Piguet stands for the finest quality, precision as well as innovation based on traditional watchmaking expertise and craftsmanship. La Maison des Fondateurs has been devel...
