Welcome to a world of passion, innovation and technique.

Romain Gauthier.

Imagine the following:

- you grew up and live in the Valley de Joux: the very heart of traditional Swiss watchmaking

- it is the year 2000 and you are 25 years old .

- you are a micro-engineer specializing in the production of high quality watches parts

- you have a passion for watches and feel an entrepreneur inside you bursting to get out

- you have a dream to create your own watch brand.

- you realise you need more commercial/business experience so you do an MBA

- Philippe Dufour inspires you to design and craft your own movement.

Romain Gauthier did more than imagine; he did more than dream. For the last six years

he has spent every spare minute after work, weekends and holidays, studying, designing, producing parts; all in in total secrecy . . .

until now!
