Legacy
keepers
Creativity has been at the heart of our workshop since our inception. Our work almost always consists of bringing together people’s memories and moments to translate them into the language of watchmaking. Combining different skills and artistry to revive these often-intangible moments, and bring them back to life through each individual project we work on. We blend unique colours with often forgotten artforms and methodologies to revitalise old techniques and know-how steeped in memories for a moment of revival.
A workshop on a human scale

Transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary
Artisans de Genève embodies the fusion between individuals and watchmaking. This is a House where ideas are exchanged and reimagined collaborative way, according to our clients’ aspirations. It is in Geneva that all of the traditional watchmaking professions are brought together in a unique place, offering a multitude of possibilities to meet the diverse needs and desires of each individual client. It is within this dedicated framework that all of the restorations, repairs and modifications that we undertake – at the request of each client – are carried out by hand.
A return to the origins

An art dedicated
to others
Since its inception, our workshop has worked meticulously to offer our passionate clientele the most personalised horology experience. Returning to the origins of the profession where the watchmaker dedicates himself to the individual desires of each client, according to their unique codes, tastes and personal history. It is in this way that we are reconnecting with the roots of a vocation where man, his hands and his tools are definitively bringing the clients’ desires to life.
A word from our client, Mr. Paul L
A profoundly human craft
“Since my earliest childhood, I have lived close to nature. This is where I feel my very best. Everything is calm, peaceful and serene. This is also where I find myself, far from the urban lifestyle where time passes by so quickly. Here, time eludes you, and that’s just as well. I find in traditional watchmaking this same serenity and confidence which always makes you want to lose yourself for a moment.”Mr Paul L.

Focus on our client’s modifications
Open Work: The art of the skeleton
00 | 00
Strength
and delicacy
Our client’s initial request was to open up his timepiece to reveal the movement. We delved into several traditional techniques in order to completely hand-cut and skeletonise the calibre 330 of his watch. Our client wanted to imbue his watch with more strength and power. We therefore hand-sanded the movement plate by hand before applying a palladium treatment to give it maximum brilliance and shine.

“Ice Blue” dial
The dial has been completely reimagined and crafted from a block of blue Sapphire to reveal the entirely hand-skeletonised movement. Each applique has been crafted by hand from a block of grey-gold before receiving the luminescent material.

Hand crafted
The bezel has been completely modified to accommodate 32 blue sapphires. Each stone has been meticulously bevelled and cut to adapt to the delicacy of the bezel and perfectly match the hue of the dial.

Hand bevelling
Fashioned from a block of hardened steel, it has been bevelled and shaped by hand to give it a perfectly rounded and shiny appearance. This rigorous technique requires hours of work in the shop. The mirror polish is also entirely done by hand.

Cutting the mass
In order to provide maximum visibility of the movement, the mass has been entirely cut and bevelled by hand before being encircled to match the rest of the movement.

Personal watchmaking
“My passion for nature and watchmaking will guide me until the end of my life. My experience with Artisans De Genève is above all, human. Sitting around a table, discussing and exchanging ideas about personal watchmaking is simply unique. I like to say when I talk about my passion, that the sky is the greatest architect.”Mr. Paul L.
