PASSION
IGNITED BY
Rodolfo and Emmanuelle Festa Bianchet have decided to follow their dream in 2017 to build a Swiss watch brand reflecting their personality and combining modernity, cutting-edge techniques and a refined aesthetic..
​
At the time, Rodolfo was a successful entrepreneur in the Fintech sector and had created the first online financial trading app for smartphones. A brainchild of Rodolfo, the analysis engine used in the app to predict market trends was an algorithm based on the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio.
​
Passionate about watches from a young age, and a watch collector, Rodolfo had a dream to create his watch brand.
​
"Watches are the love of my life. They always have been".
​
Born to a family of artists, Emmanuelle Festa Bianchet began her career in journalism, while at the same time pursuing her passion for music and painting.
A lover of fine objects, architecture and design, she embraced the family’s watchmaking adventure with the conviction that the search for beauty and harmony could build a legacy.
​
"Our voyage started with a dream and unfolds towards a future that is both faithful to tradition and open to innovation. It is a privilege to share this journey with lovers of fine horology and appreciators of the exceptional.
​
Our intent is to create experiences inspired by design and beauty,
and the magic of the tourbillon movement. "
