Whether Japanese or Swiss, we are proud to present to you all the automatic movements that equip our timepieces. Contrary to the big houses which often keep the calibers of their collection vague, we prefer transparency. If Japanese movements are recognized for their reliability, their precision as well as their excellent value for money, they do not necessarily have the aura that a Swiss automatic movement and its "Swiss made" mention can have. Especially with real enthusiasts. Mention that you will not necessarily find on our site because we are committed to making these Swiss manufacturers work as much as possible with French partners. Whether for movement assembly or component manufacturing, here we will present these movements to you as "franco suisse".
The C105 is a top-of-the-range Swiss automatic movement offering a perpetual moon phase display, a poetic complication that is very complex to achieve. This mechanism is entirely manufactured by the Swiss manufacturer Soprod SA, which has numerous production sites throughout Switzerland, but also in France.
In our desire to always offer the maximum of French know-how in our timepieces, it was at our request that the Soprod factory was able to reorganize some of its production flows. This is how we can offer you a top-of-the-range Swiss-made movement with its bridges and plates machined and decorated in France, a jeweling made by hand in France, as well as the rough machining of the oscillating weight still in France. .
You will find this caliber in a future collection that we will present to you in early 2023.

Perpetual Moon Phase: Unlike conventional Moon Phase movements which require manual adjustment of the Moon every 2 years and 235 days, our Perpetual Moon Phase will only require manual adjustment after 122 years and 51 days! What it means ? Once properly adjusted, if your watch works every day, you will never have to re-adjust the Moon.
The C105 is actually a Soprod M100 movement associated with a moon phase module co-developed with the famous Dubois Dépraz house. All the components of the C105 are manufactured by Soprod SA, even the complex strategic components such as the hairsprings and balance wheels in patented and kept secret alloys.
The G100 is a new generation top-of-the-range automatic movement, offering a generous 68-hour power reserve, which means you can, for example, leave your watch on for a whole weekend and pick it up on Monday, always on time. This mechanism is entirely designed and manufactured by the prestigious Manufacture La Joux Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.
In our desire to always offer the maximum of French know-how in our timepieces, our G100 is entirely assembled and regulated by the watchmakers of Humbert-Droz in Besançon, the cradle of French watchmaking. The solid tungsten oscillating weight is also cut, openworked and engraved in France.
