03 / From Inspiration to Form
Where Ideas Take Shape.
Every design begins with observation.
A line in the architecture. A pattern in the sand. A reflection on the sea.
Through sketches, geometric studies and technical development, these impressions evolve into original watch case concepts.
Our objective is not to imitate familiar forms, but to create a recognizable design language of our own.
