WHERE ELEGANCE IS AN ATTITUDE 

In 1832, Auguste Agassiz joined forces with a fellow watchmaker to establish a watchmaking workshop in the quaint Swiss village of Sainte-lmier. Their collaboration laid the foundation for a legacy of precision craftsmanship and innovation. By 1852, Auguste Agassiz's nephew, Ernest Francillon, assumed control of the workshop, furthering its growth and solidifying its reputation for excellence in horology. Under Francillon's leadership, the workshop would eventually evolve into one of the most renowned Swiss watchmaking companies, marking the beginning of a storied journey in the world of timekeeping.
