The Art of
Precision
Every Noir timepiece is assembled by a single master watchmaker who signs the movement. From the raw alloy to the finished calibre, no machine replaces the human hand for the final 240 operations.
Our atelier in Le Sentier, Switzerland operates on a principle unchanged since 1887: perfection is not a standard. It is a minimum.
Tour the AtelierLever Escapement
The lever escapement in the Obsidian calibre beats at 28,800 vph, with each component hand-polished to a mirror finish using only boxwood sticks.
Guilloché Dial
Our guilloché dials are engraved on a 19th-century rose engine, requiring 4 hours per dial. No two patterns are mathematically identical.
Case Finishing
Cases undergo 47 distinct finishing operations: alternating between mirror polish and satin brushing, each surface transition hand-cut to a razor edge.

Atelier Series

Auguste Noir, Founder — 1887
