From idea to object

Gradually, the desire to design my own models took shape—not always finding what I was looking for on the market. I then began restoring old movements, making my dials, testing textures, colors, and material effects, until I created original and unique pieces.

At the same time, my career as a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Industry introduced me to the diversity of French craftsmanship and the entrepreneurial energy that drives it. This experience, in turn, gave me the desire to bring my own project to fruition. It also confronted me with the realities of deindustrialization, which encouraged me to favor, whenever possible, components produced locally, in France and Europe.
