Watchmakers United, a concept boutique in the heart of Geneva, aims to promote independent watchmaking. Taking advantage of Watches and Wonders, the founder of Watchmakers United brought together until April 14 a careful selection of watchmaking artisans.
Narbel & Co, Lundis Bleus, Oligo, Frédéric Jouvenot, Vicenterra, Skill, XRby, Sartory Billard, BA111OD… as well as some young French creators, delighted to present their watches to the world. For Colin de Tonnac, founder of Semper & Adhuc, originally trained in Geneva at Patek Philippe, it is something of a return to basics. Romaric André does not make watches, but under the pseudonym ofSecond/Second, he regularly dynamites the dials, on the border between art and watchmaking, in Lille. “Even if I don't sell watches, you owe it to yourself to know the watchmaking ecosystem and to be known to it,” he says.
