    Assembly that cannot be rushed

      Brass selection

      Certified alloy, aged six months in the workshop's natural climate — relieves internal stress in the metal.

    2. 02

      Rough machining

      CNC machines with Swiss-grade ±2 micron tolerance — bridges, plates, barrels.

    3. 03

      Hand finishing

      Geneva stripes, perlage, beveled edges — by hand, under magnification, on a lapping disc.

    4. 04

      Movement assembly

      Under a binocular microscope in a clean room — 186 components, one pair of hands, no rushing.

    5. 05

      Regulation and control

      15 days in six positions on a timing machine — deviation no greater than three seconds a day.

    1. 2014

      A workshop for two

      An industrial lot on the outskirts, one lathe and sheer stubbornness — the first case turned from a brass billet over three weeks.

    2. 2017

      Caliber X-07

      The first in-house movement — hand-wound, skeletonized, 19 jewels.

    3. 2019

      Our own finishing workshop

      The manufacture moves into its own building — Geneva stripes and perlage are now done in-house.

    4. 2022

      Caliber X-22 · GMT

      An in-house second-time-zone module. First appearance at international watch fairs.

    5. 2024

      Resonance — tourbillon

      A limited series of 25 pieces. Beveling the tourbillon cage alone takes 25 hours of hand work.

    6. 2026

      Nine calibers

      Our own regulation workshop, six active models in the collection, a master's guarantee — not a brand's.
