A new partnership with Hazemann & Monnin

A new partnership with Hazemann & Monnin

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with HAZEMANN & MONNIN as authorised retailers. An ambitious young brand led by Alexandre Hazemann and Victor Monnin, we are thrilled to bring their work to avid collectors of the independent world.

THE WATCHMAKERS

HAZEMANN & MONNIN’s origin story is especially charming: they met during their first year of watchmaking school, at the Lycée Edgar Faure Morteau. Quickly becoming inseparable friends, they went on to work on their school watches as a joint project, with Hazemann winning the prestigious F. P. Journe Young Talent Competition in 2023.

We are pleased to accompany HAZEMANN & MONNIN as authorised retailers on their journey. Stay tuned to hear more about upcoming watches from the brand.

Both come from families steeped in watchmaking — Hazemann fondly recalls being enamoured with a prototype Parmigiani watch his father once brought back home, while Monnin speaks proudly of his great-grandfather and grandfather’s eponymous brand and its connection to Heuer, and they each intend to carry on the torches of their family histories.

Located amidst the winding roads and steep hills of Saint-Aubin-Sauges, they have carved out a distinct space for themselves in a workshop filled with objects from history and today.

Variations on a vision

It is unusual to see two watchmakers collaborating on their school watches, but it speaks to Hazemann and Monnin’s friendship and working relationship that they have managed to play to their strengths and deliver two astounding first watches.

Both watches share the same movement, featuring a chiming jump hour complication, but express their individual personalities through different dial aesthetics. The movement they initially used for their school watches was the LJP 6900 Calibre by La Joux-Perret, but with their Subscription pieces, they create each movement in-house. Featuring beautiful, frosted plates and a simple yet elegant placement of the bridges, the pair draw inspiration from traditional French aesthetics.

Hazemann Montre École Souscription

Looking at Hazemann’s watch, we see a deep sense of industrial tradition, with grey and silver dominating the dial, even as blued accents are a nod to modern design. The sub-dials are semi-openworked, demonstrating both depth and complexity.

Movement: HM-01, power reserve of 50 hours

Case: 39.5 x 10.9mm stainless steel

Dial: instantaneous jumping hour, minutes, seconds, chiming functions

Monnin Montre École Souscription

Monnin’s design pays tribute to more traditional styles, adding a layer of intrigue with its varied stone textures. Opting for an elegant interpretation, the watch favours a pared-back style, allowing the hues of pearl and green to stand out.

  • Distinct personalities expressed across the same starting canvas.
  • The incredible rainbow shades found on the opal sub-dials of Monnin's watch.
  • Finished through traditional methods, the movement is a significant leap from their school days, with polished, brushed, and frosted surfaces.
  • Bright blue accents on Hazemann's watch complement the blued hands and industrial aesthetics found across the dial.
