Since 1977
— A Genevan lineage —

One hundred and eighty years.

“The form of a mechanical watch has been settled since the early twentieth century. We have no wish to unsettle it — only to polish each angle as it passes the bench.”
Léa Saint-Auban, fifth-generation watchmaker and current master of the atelier

The manufacture has moved once in its history, from rue Saint-Auban to the present rooms in 1946. Every reference currently in production is made in that one building, over four floors, by fourteen watchmakers, a handful of whom learned from their parents.
