AAtelier 61

The atelier

Built to order, never to stock

We started with a simple frustration: buying a mechanical watch means accepting someone else's choices. A dial you like on a case you don't. A bezel that only comes in one finish. So we broke the watch back into its parts and handed the decisions over.

Watchmaker assembling a movement at the bench

Real photography, not renders

Every part in the configurator is photographed on the actual component, so the watch you preview is the watch you receive.

Movements we trust

Automatic calibres selected for serviceability, regulated in multiple positions and run for several days before shipping.

Materials without shortcuts

316L stainless steel cases, sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating, and straps from tanneries we can name.

Serviceable for decades

Standard calibres and standard lug widths mean any watchmaker can open, service and re-strap your watch years from now.

From order to wrist
