My vision
Custom-made watches for your events
I am convinced that all stories, individual and collective, can be told and passed on in different ways. The watch is a particularly suitable medium for this purpose: durable, vibrant, and portable.
You will be proud to wear or offer a unique watch, just as I am proud to create unique pieces that tell your story.
"The only story that matters is the one of the person who wears the watch. I dedicate my time to creating this strong emotional connection with an object rich in meaning and unique in the world."

The spirit of Atelier Caradant in watches with a pre-defined design.
On what occasion should you buy or offer a watch as a gift?
A birthday is often a milestone in life. A watch symbolizes the time running by, but also the time that remains. Giving a watch is giving a companion for the coming decade, a piece that will develop a patina with new experiences.
This is an opportunity for a parent to buy themselves a watch that will one day become a gift for their child. It's a marker of family time, an object that witnessed the early years and will be steeped in history.
The watch, traditionally given to the future husband, is a token of love and a lasting investment. It represents the countdown to the big day and the beginning of a new era. It often becomes a family heirloom , passed down from generation to generation.
For a couple, time is a measure of love and commitment. Giving a watch (or a pair of matching or complementary watches) is a way to honor the years spent together and count down those to come. It's a symbol of longevity and fidelity.
A watch is the perfect transitional gift. It marks the end of constrained time (work) and the beginning of leisure time (retirement). It's a tribute to years of career and a wish for a future filled with leisure. A limited edition can highlight the uniqueness of the recipient's career.
It marks the culmination of a long-term effort and the transition to adulthood/professional life. The watch is a tool for managing time, responsibilities, and ambitions. It is a first valuable object , symbolizing autonomy and future successes.
Owning a bespoke watch is a way of recognizing an achievement (a sporting challenge, a major accomplishment, a personal milestone). It's about giving yourself an object that tells its own story, independent of a specific date or another person. It's the ultimate expression of individuality and taste.
It symbolizes success and the beginning of a new professional chapter. The watch is an accessory that asserts self-worth and status. It serves as a reminder of the importance of punctuality and the efficient use of time in one's new role.
