Métiers d’art

Watchmaking is indeed an industry; a science, certainly, but also and no doubt more than anything, it is an art. It has forever been intimately associated with the beauty of the timepieces it creates. It has always called on craftsmen and artists in numerous domains. Goldsmiths, engravers, miniaturists, sculptors and jewel-setters contribute to its greatness. Today, watchmaking is not only one of the rare sectors that continues to employ skills that have elsewhere vanished; they also find here new horizons to explore and new forms of expression.
