about
We are Charlie Paris. Since 2014, we have been creating watches for you with a design that is both understated and unique, designed and assembled in our workshop in Paris, at a fair price.
A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP AND PASSION
At the origin of Charlie, two childhood friends and a common passion for watchmaking. Both for its technical, creative and historical aspect.
For Charlie, the ultimate watch is balance. Between sobriety and singularity. Modernity and timelessness. Soft curves and sharp lines. Between strength and refinement. Or between technological innovation and artisanal know-how.
In each of his creations, Charlie addresses women and men looking for a certain form of discreet elegance, convinced that quality also creates beauty.
THE ART OF LIVING THROUGH TIME
France has always been a great watchmaking country, thanks to its history, which has made it the true cradle of European watchmaking.
Since 2014, Charlie has wanted to maintain this wonderful heritage by combining both traditional and modern times.
Through his world and his commitments, Charlie aims to be the ambassador of a French art of living, at once free, elegant and refined, which qualifies the watch not only as a measuring instrument, but also as an object with strong symbolic value.
2014
2014 marks the year that Ambroise and Adrien founded Charlie Paris while they were still students. The first French watch brand to launch with a crowdfunding campaign, Charlie Paris is resolutely community-focused and embodies a new face for French watchmaking.
2015
Now an iconic collection of the House and composed of nearly forty models for both men and women, the Initial represents the first collection of automatic watches from Charlie Paris.
2016
Very soon after its launch, Charlie Paris opened its first address, a true place of exchange and meetings where enthusiasts come to fully experience the Charlie Paris brand.
2018
2018 marks a turning point for the Maison with the launch of the Concordia collection, which accompanies adventurer Matthieu Tordeur's world record in Antarctica. Equipped with a Swiss automatic movement and water-resistant to 300m, this collection places Charlie Paris among the brands that matter to the discerning clientele of watch enthusiasts.
2019
After several years working with partner workshops in the Besançon region, Charlie Paris is beginning to internalize the production of its watches, with assembly now taking place in its own workshops in the heart of Paris.
2020
The flagship of the house, which includes a boutique, workshop and offices, 53 rue Saint André des Arts today embodies Charlie Paris's vision for a watchmaking business that is both high-end and accessible, demanding and close to its customers.
2022
2022 marks the beginning of collaborations with renowned talents in the creative world. Artists, designers, architects... Charlie Paris gives them carte blanche to create true works of art to wear on their wrists. Hopare, Erro, Matali Crasset, and Dominique Perrault join the movement.
2023
With its Swiss automatic movement equipped with the perpetual moon phase complication accurate to 122 years and 51 days, the Alliance collection further establishes the company in its quest for excellence.
2024
For its 10th anniversary, Charlie Paris is renewing its identity but its initial promise remains unchanged: to offer watches with a design that is both understated and remarkable, assembled in France with quality components and at an affordable price.
