Until June 21, 2025, the Tomasso gallery, located on Jermyn Street in London, hosts the exhibition dedicated to Grima. This annual event highlights the unique work of a house that has left its mark on the history of British jewelry.

Through a subtle dialogue between contemporary pieces and vintage creations, the exhibition offers an expanded view of the world of’Andrew Grima, The vision of which continues to inform the language of jewelry and horology. The 2025 edition stands out, in particular, for presenting a selection of timepieces from the collection. About Time, Designed for Omega in 1970, these watches, with their sculptural lines and bold materials, embody an approach to design that, more than fifty years after their creation, retains astonishing modernity.

In the subdued atmosphere of Tomasso, visitors are invited to explore a work where the jewel becomes architecture, matter and movement. The exhibition is aimed at both curious amateurs and seasoned collectors, each of whom will find an opportunity to pause over the free forms, unexpected textures and the sought-after balance between function and aesthetics.

More than just a retrospective, this presentation attests to the vitality of a legacy that, far from being frozen in the past, continues to inspire new generations of creators.
