Workshop
As an independent watchmaker we design and make mechanical watches based on traditional watchmaking methods and craftsmanship. Every watch we make is unique with its own records and serial number. The watch case and components are carefully developed and finished by hand before we manually assembly the watch. Each watch is individually handled through the different steps in the workshop before it is ready to meet the customer.
Design
Perfection, passion and mechanical art are the genuine drivers and the core of the company. It is the essence in our designs and in our passion for making manual and automatic watches.
The design work commence with hand drawn sketches which converts to CAD drawings of the detailed parts and components. Before we start the production we do a sign-off of the design to ensure that quality is built in to the watch.
PArts finishing
The finishing of the timepieces has traditionally been a part of the craftsmanship in fine watches and watchmaking. A lot of work goes in to the finishing of the parts and components.
All our watch cases are hand polished and brushed in line with the design. Screws are polished by hand using manual hand tools to obtain the right surface finish.
Bridges and movement components have various ways to be finished and polished. Among those we use for instance, Geneva stripes, Anglage, Perlage, Colimaçon, and Engraving when finishing our watches.
Assembly
Every watch is completely assembled by hand piece by piece one at the time or through minor sub-assemblies like the balance spring. The high quality built in the watch requires certain precision and concentration during the assembly.
Next step is the casing procedure, to mount the movement in the watch case together with the dial and watch hands. A manual work which ends with our internal calibration and inspection where the watch's accuracy and the quality is confirmed.
Final Inspection and certification
Before the watch is ready to meet the customer the watch has to go through further quality inspections. The watch is sent to a third party inspection body for chronometer certification. This certification confirms the accuracy of the watch. We use the Observatory of Besançon, France for the certification. The Observatory Certification means the complete cased watch is controlled.
The chronometer certification confirms the quality of the watch. An assurance which can only be obtained by perfection and a passion for watchmaking.
