OUR COMMITMENT :
– We believe in affordability by not using a Swiss Movement.
ETA or SELLITA movements are the 2 most popular brands in Swiss watch industry for automatic movements. They are extremely reliable yet quite expensive. So we chose to use a Seiko Japanese movement for a few reasons:
- They are as reliable and precise as their Swiss counterparts.
- They are less expensive and they have also a lower cost of maintenance / service.
– We believe in helping the environment by never using a battery. They are consider a hazardous waste due to their composition: Mercuric Oxide, Silver Oxide, Lithium, Alkaline, Zinc-Air, etc… and difficult to recycle !!!
In addition, you won’t need to worry about any battery replacements.
– We are a FRENCH brand but pride ourselves in the highest quality materials (Italian leather, Japanese SEIKO movement, Steel 316L, Sapphire Crystal, etc.) so our customers can build watches that last ! We developed the best mechanical, custom made watches : no compromise !
