Les Collections · 01 — 03

Three ways to
hold an hour.

N° 01

NOCTURNE

Onyx · white gold · moonphase

The midnight complication. A field of black onyx over which a gold moon crosses in perfect, unhurried orbit — one revolution every 29 days.

N° 02

HELIOS

Yellow gold · guilloché · perpetual

The sun at its zenith. A hand-turned guilloché dial in solid gold, catching light at every angle, driven by a perpetual calendar that forgets nothing.

N° 03

MERIDIAN

Rose gold · dual time · sapphire

The traveller's hour. Two time zones held in rose gold beneath a domed sapphire — the hour you left, and the hour you arrive, read at a glance.

Le Savoir-faire

Made slowly,
by five hands.

01

Le Dessin — The Sketch

Every piece begins in graphite. A single dial is drawn, discarded, and redrawn forty times before the proportions are permitted to leave the atelier.

3 weeks

02

Le Mouvement — The Movement

Two hundred and eighteen components, each finished by hand — bevelled, black-polished, and set with jewels — then assembled beneath a loupe by a single watchmaker.

9 weeks

03

Le Cadran — The Dial

The guilloché is cut on a rose engine turned by hand. One slip ruins the plate; there is no undoing a line engraved in gold.

5 weeks

04

Le Boîtier — The Case

Eighteen-carat gold is cast, milled, and polished across nine stages until the surface returns light like still water.

4 weeks

05

L'Assemblage — The Regulation

The finished calibre is regulated in six positions over a fortnight, until it keeps time to within two seconds a day — and only then is it signed.

La Maison

We do not measure time. We adorn it — casting each hour in gold and letting the light do the rest. A watch from AURUM is not a thing you own, but a thing you keep.
