Pierre Junod Switzerland Details
Discover all watches of Pierre Junod in the online shop www.pierrejunod.ch. We are powered by the pleasure of creating unique models with architects and designers, while perpetuating the highest quality standards for Swiss made watches. We have been manufacturing watches since 1994 in our small atelier in Bienne, Switzerland. Architects and Designers We will never forget our first conversation with Massimo Vignelli. The world-famous modernist designer told us with a smile: "Above all, I'd like it to be timeless." Shortly after, he created a watch together with his wife Lella and designed a frame that covers the case and expands the glass of the face into a subtly coloured, interchangeable ‘halo'. Such moments are fueling our motivations to manufacture models with designers and architects like Michael Graves, Richard Meier, and Mario Botta. Movement and Ecological Materials All our models are fitted with gold-plated quartz movements that are made in Switzerland by the manufacturer ETA. The premium batteries are Swiss made and last for 34 months at least. For the surface of our watches, we use exclusively scratchproof sapphire crystal glass. And we place value on producing the straps as environment-friendly as possible: the tanning takes place without chemical additives and the leather is coloured by using only organic extracts from plants and woods. Production and Quality Our watches are Swiss made and assembled in our atelier in Bienne, Switzerland. More than 90 percent of the parts – the movement, clock face, hands, steel case, and even the packaging – are produced within walking distance from our atelier. If you would like to know more about our production, do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail at atelier@pierrejunod.ch. We will be pleased to organise a visit of our atelier for you.
