OUR MASTERS

Engraver

THE MASTER ENGRAVER: ARTISAN OF FORM

Watchmaking offers engraving an exceptional range of expression. Present on the cases, dials and even the tiny components of movements, this age-old art infuses each piece with its unique character. Using movements accurate to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, they shape the curve and depth of the motif. Engraving ensures that a work of art will remain literally etched in history and living memory.

GUILLOCHEUR

THE MASTER GUILLOCHEUR: ARTISAN OF DEPTH

An art of the hand and machine, guilloché work subtly plays with light to lend depth to a surface. These finely carved motifs with exceptional regularity and delicacy are the work of extremely talented Master Craftsmen. With an expert hand, the Master Guillocheur achieves strikingly beautiful, symmetrical or figurative motifs—one of the particularities of the Maison, whose expertise extends well beyond classical guilloché work.

ENAMELER

THE MASTER ENAMELER: ARTISAN OF COLOR

This Métier d'Art is so rare that only a few Master Craftsmen in the world have mastered the required skills. To faithfully reproduce designs on the dial, talent is not enough and many years of training are necessary to master each enameling technique whether it be Grand Feu, cloisonné or champlevé. Finally comes the crucial stage of firing, which allows the enamel to fuse to the matrix and is no longer at the mercy of time.

JEWELER

THE MASTER JEWELER: ARTISAN OF LIGHT

Working with extremely fine layers of gold, the Master Jeweler must adapt to the constraints imposed by the functional nature of the watch, while respecting the stones and the metal. Patience and concentration are vital in setting the perfect stage for these stones and enabling them to sparkle with dazzling radiance. the Master Gem setter injects the pieces with soul, perfecting their personality.

WATCHMAKER

THE MASTER WATCHMAKER: ARTISAN OF TIME

Sensitive to the beauty of the watch, Watchmakers challenge themselves to find technical solutions to serve high standards of aesthetics. Through them, the hours reveal their personality and follow a steady rhythm. A perfect illustration of technicality in its most beautiful expression.
