Comfort

The essence of all senses

We know that sensory analysis is vital to ensuring some of our watches’ essential qualities.

Though we never cease to devise more elaborate methods to scrupulously check their mechanical and chronometric performances, we know that sometimes, no check, no automated control can ever amount to what we feel, see or hear. For instance, the hand featured here is one tasked with evaluating the feel of the watch case’s texture.

These experts caress its every surface. Checking every lug, bracelet and clasp assembled and polished in our workshops. Years of practice have donned their fingers and eyes with a sensitivity that no measuring instrument could ever rival.
