A century and a half, unhurried.
Since 1874 we have worked from the same mountains, to the same standard, answering to no one but the movement itself.
Every decade, a decision to stay small.
- 1874
The first workshop
A single bench in the Jura mountains. One watchmaker, one lathe, and a refusal to sign anything imperfect.
- 1911
The caliber that endured
The house movement is finalised. Its architecture still beats inside the Héritage line more than a century later.
- 1948
To the depths
The first Marine is certified for professional divers, establishing the tool-watch discipline of the Meridian line.
- 1979
The atelier is founded
A dedicated workshop for grand complications opens. Every tourbillon since has been assembled by a single master.
- 2004
Ceramic and shadow
The house masters high-density ceramic, giving rise to the contemporary Noir collection.
- Today
The next hundred years
Still independent. Still in the mountains. Still refusing to sign anything imperfect.
“We have never confused speed with progress.”
Every watch that leaves this atelier carries the same conviction the first one did: that a thing worth making is worth making slowly, by hand, by people who will still be here to stand behind it in twenty years. That has never been a business strategy. It is simply how we were taught, and how we intend to teach the next generation of watchmakers who will one day sit at these same benches.
