Now mature and well-renowned, the Manufacture provides its services to small, independent houses and major international brands alike, with director and founder Valérien Jaquet at the helm.
Today, the site houses 150 employees practising all the crafts associated with traditional watchmaking and firmly rooted in the region’s industrial heritage, but with a resolutely contemporary eye.

Focused on the development of grand complication movements such as tourbillons, minute repeaters and grande sonneries, the team takes a decisive step by bringing its activities together on the site of the family business, specialising in micromechanical production. The merger of the two entities makes it possible to take on all the stages necessary for the design, development and production of complete movements, giving rise to a true Manufacture.
Meanwhile, the assembly, decoration, mechanics and production departments that make complete escapements continue to grow, bringing together all the craft of contemporary fine watchmaking under the same roof.
