A Swiss independent watchmaker founded by master watchmaker Emmanuel Bouchet, the brand unveils a poetic and architectural vision of time. Discover the Complication One collection and its iconic Aleph and Contrast models.
In the Swiss watchmaking landscape, certain brands stand out for their independence, boldness, and artistic approach to time. Emmanuel Bouchet is one of those rare creators who are reinventing the codes of fine watchmaking.
Trained from an early age in the family workshop, he developed a passion for restoring antique watches before collaborating on exceptional projects, including the famous Harry Winston Opus 12 movement. In 2014, he founded his own company in Fleurier, Switzerland, driven by a vision: to make the movement the centerpiece of the watch, not hidden, but revealed.
Each Emmanuel Bouchet creation embodies a dialogue between architecture and emotion. The brand showcases the beating of time, offering a poetic interpretation of mechanical movement. Here, the heart of the watch is not merely guessed at, it is admired.
The collection Complication One
The brand’s first creation, the Complication One is a true sculpture of time. Presented at the Salon QP in London, it immediately captivated collectors and enthusiasts of independent watchmaking.
Its in-house caliber, developed entirely in-house, consists of more than 400 components and has a deliberately slowed-down frequency to better reveal the beauty of each oscillation.
The escapement, positioned at the center of the dial, takes center stage: a visible mechanical ballet, slow and almost hypnotic. The 44 mm case, available in titanium, rose gold, or platinum, reinforces this impression of balance between power and transparency.
Aleph & Contrast – Design and mechanics in harmony
The Aleph and Contrast models embody two interpretations of this same philosophy. Aleph captivates with its purity: a titanium case, a refined dial, and satin finishes that allow light to play on the visible movement.
Contrast, meanwhile, imposes a more graphic style: a play of textures, openwork bridges, bluish details, and three-dimensional architecture. Two personalities, one watchmaking spirit: that of visible precision.
The Source Collection – The Continuity of a Vision
With the Source collection, Emmanuel Bouchet continues his exploration of visible mechanics.
The design is modernized, the lines are refined, but the essence remains: revealing movement, expressing the beauty of passing time, and reminding us that every second deserves to be admired.
A rare signature in the Swiss watchmaking world
At Emmanuel Bouchet, each watch is a statement. Hand-assembled in an independent workshop, they reflect an almost artistic approach to watchmaking. Far removed from industrial production, each piece is designed as a work of art, combining technology, emotion, and design.
For ACCESS’s audience, who are passionate about craftsmanship and exclusive luxury, Emmanuel Bouchet represents more than just a brand: it is an experience of time.
A balance between ancestral know-how and modernity, between movement and silence, between rigor and emotion.
