The Boutique
We do not make watches. We find them, open them, verify them, and pass them on with their histories intact.
A small number of pieces enter the vitrine each year because sourcing cannot be accelerated without being diminished. Every watch is authenticated, serviced and documented in the same workshop above the Rhône where the boutique began, then sent anywhere in the world to be worn for a lifetime and handed on.

Four pieces, considered
Since 1958
One window above the Rhône
The boutique began with eleven watches in a window, a register of who had owned each of them, and an objection to selling anything whose history could not be told. Nearly seventy years later the objection stands, and so does the window — it simply reaches the whole world now.

Private Register
Be the first to know
New arrivals, limited series and private events are shown to the register before they are shown anywhere else. A handful of letters each year, nothing more.
