Ateliers deMonaco

Ateliers deMonaco is an eminent luxury watchmaking brand that blends the heritage of traditional Swiss precision with the sophistication of the Principality of Monaco. Established in 2008 by watchmaking virtuosos Pim Koeslag, Yvan Arpa, and Peter Stas, the brand has rapidly distinguished itself in the haute horlogerie industry through its intricate craftsmanship and innovative designs.

One of the defining milestones of Ateliers deMonaco was their debut creation, the Tourbillon Répétition Minute Carrillon Romain. This model encapsulated the essence of the brand, showcasing not only a tourbillon but also a minute repeater, thereby setting a new standard in the realm of high complication wristwatches. This pioneering spirit continues to pervade their approach, leading to the creation of several groundbreaking timepieces over the years.

A significant technological advancement introduced by Ateliers deMonaco is the patented “Extreme Precision 1 minute” (E.P.1) movement. Launched in 2009, this invention enhances the precision of their timepieces to within 1 second per day, demonstrating their commitment to excellence.

The brand is also renowned for its commitment to artistry. Each watch is meticulously handcrafted, highlighting traditional techniques such as enameling, hand-engraving, and guilloché. Their designs are often inspired by Monaco’s illustrious history and architecture, reflecting a blend of regal elegance and contemporary flair. In their quest to honor Monaco's luxurious aura, many of their limited edition pieces draw inspiration from the opulence of the Prince's Palace and the picturesque streets of Monte Carlo.

Ateliers deMonaco honors not only the grace of Monaco but also the precision of Swiss watchmaking, as their production takes place in Geneva. This duality is not just a hallmark but a celebration of both cultures.
