Geschichte
Founded in 1988 in L'Abbaye, Switzerland, the brand is named after a descendant of a prominent watchmaking lineage. It occupies a specific niche in fashion history through its dedication to squelettage, the reduction of mechanical parts to their essential structures. This practice preserves eighteenth-century decorative techniques within a modern luxury framework. The brand’s significance lies in its role as an independent producer maintaining specialized hand-finishing standards in the Swiss watch industry.
