From intention to geometry
CAD
Validated designs move into CAD. Design intent and artistic direction are engineered into production-ready geometry, from the first volume to the final assembly drawing.
01 / How we work
Production-ready
engineering
CAD translates validated designs into production-ready geometry. Every volume, proportion, and detail is engineered for manufacture, with assemblies, tolerances, and stone settings resolved before production.
Models become technical documentation, manufacturing drawings, and CNC-ready files. The result is a consistent workflow from design intent to workshop execution.
I
3D Modelling
SolidWorks, Matrix, and ZBrush translate desired volumes into production-ready geometry. Stone settings, wall thicknesses, and clearances are defined directly in the model.
II
Upstream Engineering
Technical requirements are resolved before production begins. Assemblies, thicknesses, stone settings, and critical dimensions are fixed to ensure consistent manufacturing.
III
Technical Drawings
Elevations, sections, stone layouts, and assembly drawings. Manufacturing documentation defines tolerances, stone settings, metal weights, and every specification required for production.
IV
Jigs & Fixtures
CAD also designs the manufacturing fixtures, posages in workshop vocabulary, that hold, position and support each piece during production, so every operation repeats with the same accuracy.
V
Release & Handover
Production files released to CNC, stone setting, and the workshop. One technical reference keeps design intent, engineering, and manufacturing aligned from first model to final assembly.

03 / The Craft
Keep exploring
End-to-end under a single roof: 7 divisions, each available standalone or as part of a full-piece development.
01
Design
Sketch, render and prototype. From client intent to validated design.
02
CAD
3D models, technical drawings and manufacturing fixtures.
Current 03
CNC
Production-grade milling of gold, platinum, steel and titanium, held to tight tolerances.
04
Setting
Bead, baguette and claw setting, for diamonds and colored stones.
05
Engraving
Laser engraving for fine decoration, 3D relief, texturing and official marks.
06
Finishing
Mirror, satin, sandblast and plating. Surfaces worked at every stage.
07
Restoration
Restoration of pieces worn, damaged or altered by time.
04 / Across the group
Applied across
the Savoir-Faire
The same teams and the same standard serve watchmaking and jewellery.
One group,
a world of expertise.
