Presentation of our partner Humbert Droz Réparalux

In this article, we invite you to discover one of the partners of Maison Charlie Paris: Humbert Droz Réparalux.

The Humbert Droz company is a real family story. Since 1956, four generations of enthusiasts have succeeded one another and contributed to the development of the company. The story begins in the French capital of watchmaking, Besançon, where the company was created by Marcel Humbert-Droz, a watchmaking enthusiast who would hand over his place 12 years later to his son: Jean Humbert-Droz, a recent graduate of the Besançon watchmaking school. The know-how was then perpetuated by his son himself, Frédéric Humbert-Droz, from 1995. The grandson of the founder took over the company with passion and was at the head of an important project for the company: the installation of the premises in the Parc Alpia in Besançon, in 2004. More recently, it was Julien Humbert-Droz, great-grandson of Marcel Humbert-Droz the founder, who took over the Réparalux workshop and who leads the teams. He is a graduate of Métiers d'Art and guides the watch repairers who work in the different sectors of the company.

Humbert-Droz specializes in the assembly of new products, the assembly and mounting of jewelry, the assembly of products from microtechnology, the after-sales service of major watch brands and finally logistics. This beautiful family business owes its know-how and experience acquired and recognized by the most prestigious watch brands but also by a clientele from the greatest watchmakers and jewelers.

Charlie Paris x Humbert-Droz Réparalux : we use the services of the Humbert Droz company for the assembly of the G100 movement, present in our Alliance 68H collection. A timepiece with a refined design and exceptional performance. Equipped with the G100 automatic movement from the Swiss manufacturer La Joux-Perret, it offers a 68-hour power reserve and great precision. Its 39.5 mm diameter 316L stainless steel case combines elegance and robustness, with polished and brushed finishes. Available in three elegant colors (white, sage, blue), it has a domed double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, a sapphire crystal caseback revealing the caliber, and a water resistance of 3 ATM. A model that is both sporty and refined, ideal for watchmaking enthusiasts.

Indeed, Humbert-Droz has gained the trust of the La Joux-Perret manufacture for the assembly of their movements, which is why the latter is described as a Franco-Swiss movement. As part of this partnership, we had the chance to visit Julien Humbert-Droz and his teams last November. On this occasion, we made a video retracing all the stages of the assembly of the G100 movement, which you can find below.
