“Since 1847, we have made fewer than three hundred watches a year. Not because we cannot make more, but because each one deserves a lifetime of attention.”

1847
Aurèle Fontaine opens a two-bench atelier above his family’s farmhouse and signs his first pocket watch.
1892
A chiming complication that sounds the hours, quarters and minutes, ordered by a Viennese collector.
1931
The house’s first wristwatch, a slim gold case with enamel dial, still made to the original drawings.
1969
At 1.98 mm, one of the thinnest hand-wound movements of its day, finished entirely by hand.
2007
Every component, from hairspring to case, is now made under one roof on the shores of the lake.
2026
A new moon-phase calibre marks the house’s 179th year. Fewer than three hundred pieces a year.
Savoir-faire
Every bridge is chamfered with a wooden peg, every screw head mirror-polished, every wheel spoke bevelled under a loupe. Most of this work hides behind the dial. We do it anyway.
By appointment
Sit with a timepiece, meet the watchmaker who assembled it and take your time. There is never any obligation.
