Fiona Krüger’s CHAOS Collection is and exploration of time through the scientific lens, drawing inspiration from the field of Physics and concepts such as entropy and the arrow of time.
Entropy, a key concept in the laws of thermodynamics, explains that everything goes from order towards disorder ie: that time is directional, that it moves forward.
"Chaos is the opposite of Swiss watchmaking, synonymous with perfection and control, and yet they are both representations of time itself. Two sides of the same coin. I thought that contradiction was rather beautiful."

"If I’m working with the best people, and using the finest materials, then my design must be worthy of the time, skill and materials involved in its creation. It must be meaningful — beyond me, my name or my own ideas. Something which, in 200 years when I’m no longer around, people might see and it will still be relevant. That’s what the pieces in the Patek Philippe Museum’s historical collection were to me, and I have that same philosophy behind everything I create."
