The path to creation

This first step consists of a meeting to find out your tastes, your experience, what you like about watchmaking, your ideas and your dreams.

We are here to guide you, accompany you and establish a common language to enable you to express, choose and create.

Over the course of the few weeks of the creative process, we will express your your wishes with the help of computer-generated images.

Each new sketch is an opportunity to confirm your choices, to make new ones and to explore the limits of your project.

The manufacture of the watch

The manufacturing process combines craftsmanship, techniques and art.

The project is transformed into a set of design plans, specifications and specifications and descriptions for twenty or so craftsmen.

Over the course of the weeks, we illustrate each stage of the manufacturing process.

We animate the dialogue between craftsmen, artists and technicians. Each of them working together to forge the soul of the watch.

It is during this period that you give your watch a name.

Final assembly

It is in our workshops that we proceed to the final assembly of the watch.

Beyond the technical aspects, there is a very strong emotional emotional dimension that brings the watch to life.
