Independent watchmakers
The route of an independent watchmaker is often solitary, but distinctive – they forgo the usual trappings of traditional watchmaking routes to strike out on their own, driven by tenacity and constant refinement. We are proud to partner with Philippe Dufour, Roger W. Smith, Kari Voutilainen, Rexhep Rexhepi of AkriviA, Petermann Bédat, and others, to share their paths and curate their distinct creations.
