Paris Acier Seconde bleue - Atelier Caradant

Tell Your Story...

I create your watches as unique and custom-made time pieces.

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."

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.

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.

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.
