The Black Bay 58 incorporates vintage-inspired elements, such as its 39mm case size and iconic gilt details, reflecting the design language of Tudor’s original 1958 model, which marked the brand's entry into professional diving watches with its 200-meter water resistance.

“Timeless Treasures” is dedicated to the powerful legacy and emotional depth embedded in jewelry passed down through generations. This exhibit explores the theme of jewelry as a vessel for memory, connection, and cultural heritage, emphasizing how these pieces transcend mere ornamentation to become symbols of enduring love and familial devotion. Each of the four showcased items tells its own unique story, reflecting the history, values, and traditions of the families who cherished them. Through intricate designs and precious materials, these artifacts encapsulate moments of joy, loss, and celebration, representing not just personal style but the very essence of human relationships. The collection aims to immerse visitors in the universal language of heirlooms, highlighting how jewelry serves as a bridge between the past and present. “Timeless Treasures” invites viewers to ponder the emotional weight of inherited artifacts, prompting reflection on what it means to pass down stories and connections through wearable art.

Join us in experiencing our exhibit Treasures from Our Roots, a testament of family heirlooms and sentimental pieces that showcase rich culture and family heritage. Explore the family ties that intertwine our vastly different pieces. In this exhibit, we have on display not only what is visible to the eye but also a connection to the way in which family influences and shapes fashion. As you go through our exhibit notice the different textures and colours of the pieces. Take a closer look at the work that went into creating each object on display. In this collection that we have put together, we have an amber ring passed down from mother to daughter, a Cultivo de la vida dress crafted by a grandmother for her granddaughter, a Chunni (Scarf) given to me by my mother. A gho (Bhutanese Men’s National Dress) that was given to me by my grandfather. These pieces are linked in an exhibit that honours the lasting bonds of family, heritage, and culture through heirlooms that tell stories across generations. Let our display remind us of the things that truly bind us together, family history, and the legacies we continue to shape.

Item is a heavy silver anklet that has bells and embellishments on it to accessorize an outfit. Ther origin is unknown.

Made of fabric from Hungary. One of four shirts -- one white and three blue -- made of fabric purchased by Tran Thi Thu Ha (aunt) in Saigon. The shirts were tailored (either in Saigon or My Tho) for four of her brothers. This sort of purchase was illegal in post-1975 Vietnam. Including my father, three of the brothers escaped by boat wearing the shirts, and eventually settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were worn for several years, but eventually were put away and stayed in the possession of Tran Ba Hung (father). This white shirt originally belonged to Tran Ba Hung (father's older brother) who disliked his own clothes and would steal the others'. The shirt was taken and worn by Tran Ba Hung (younger brother). The remaining shirt in Vietnam was lost.
