A Moment at the Maison
They say first impressions count – especially when you approach something with an open mind and free from expectations. The initial moments in a new environment, encounters with local people, and the small details along the way often speak louder than words. That's precisely how we want to bring watch and jewelry manufacturers and their brands to life – straightforward, honest, open, and as far removed as possible from the usual PR hype.
With this intention, we set off for Switzerland to visit some brands, linger there for a moment, and absorb as much of the local atmosphere in the Maisons as possible.
In our series “A Moment at the Maison” We are sharing these impressions as an introduction to the worlds that define these manufacturers.
A first season full of contrasts
In this, let's call it the "first season", we were able to visit manufacturers as diverse as Mondaine & Luminox, Franck Muller, Parmigiani Fleurier, Frédérique Constant, Eberhard & Co. and Aerowatch.
However different the focus and products of these brands may be – they all have one thing in common: Dedication, love for the product, commitment and deep know-how – And you can feel that from the very first moment.
And here's the link to the first episode: A Moment at Mondaine
