CLAUDE MEYLAN

In the depths of the Swiss Jura and more precisely in L’Abbaye, a typical village in the luxury watch making Valley (the “Vallée de Joux”) where great winters gave birth to great ideas and achievements in time keeping, the family company CLAUDE MEYLAN SA maintains proudly the watch making know-how inherited from their ancestors.

MEYLAN is one of the great names which stamped the expansion of watchmaking : In Mid- 18th century Samuel Olivier Meylan from the Chenit District and Abraham- Samuel Meylan from L’Orient had been initiated into the mystery of this art in Rolle and Fleurier. Once they were back home, both began to benefit from their acquired knowledge: Samuel-Olivier Meylan manufactured the first pocket watch fitted with a disc-musical mechanism and then, the passion for movements became a family tradition.

CLAUDE MEYLAN grew further the inherited talents and imposed a new interpretation of time by “stripping” and decorating each and every possible elements of the movement. The “Squelette” art is pushed towards new horizons. CLAUDE MEYLAN enjoys presenting refined and decorated bridges, wheels and gear train to express a new vision for time while setting a new art in sculpted pieces.

Using the latest innovations offered by the highest watch making technologies, we give birth to the most valuable timepieces.
