GOTHIC INSPIRED

Europe is well regarded as a cradle of artistic and architectural movements. Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance did they survive the throes of war, but some of the grandest historical buildings continue to be finely preserved and exert considerable influence on modern design.

On the other hand, at the heart of Europe is Switzerland, where the landlocked country remains a bastion of mechanical watchmaking with a long-standing tradition that dates back centuries. It is here that watchmaking continues to thrive by riding challenges, seeking inspiration from external realms and innovating with great gusto.
