The Méridien · Calibre A-91
Time, held still.
Move to light it · drag to turn it
Manifesto
We make fewer than four hundred watches a year. Each one passes through a single pair of hands, takes eleven weeks to finish, and is meant to outlast the person who first wears it.
01 · Anatomy
Seven layers,
one heartbeat.
Scroll to take the Méridien apart, piece by piece, the way it is built in the atelier.
02 · The movement
Turn it over.
Watch it breathe.
Behind the sapphire caseback, the Calibre A-91 beats at four hertz. Every wheel you see is cut, bevelled and polished by hand.
