Trends, portraits, analyses: “Le Temps” is joining forces with the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” as part of a series of articles devoted to watchmaking and fine jewelry. Our dedicated file
Independent watchmakers have gained unprecedented visibility and a new wave of young practitioners has just emerged. Their work is personal, carrying the values of craftsmanship and creativity. Their watches are unique pieces or made piece by piece in very small series. Very far in their essence from the logic of the industry. Life journey matters as much as achievements. With an obvious experimental dimension. A bit to watchmaking what biotech is to big pharma.
Collectors immediately spotted them. The odds are rising and the market pressure is immediate. No one can predict how long these increasingly young practitioners will be able to resist. Whatever their fate, their watches will remain. Overview in three portraits, three workshops, three philosophies: Julien Tixier, Simon Brette, Sylvain Berneron.
