History

Past		Present		Future
I’ve never wanted to become a watchmaker. However, at some point it must have been written in my genetics that I would share both my father and grandfather’s passion. So I started to study the art of watchmaking and spent therefore 4 years as an apprentice with Paul Gerber in Zurich, a worldwide respected master-watchmaker, and the passion rose ..		After working 10 years for the American jeweler Tiffany & Co. in New York and St-Sulpice near Lausanne, I decided to give my visions and creativity a push and co-founded Nobletime with long-term partner and friend, Vicente Mafé. The fundament was built and the first watch under my own name was born.		Sharing my passion and visions with watch enthusiasts around the globe is one motivation to strive for. Challenging innovation and standards, walking the edge of modernism and classicism are essential. Fundamental, however, is honesty and respect for our legendary Swiss watchmaking tradition.
