About the Watchmaking Cluster
Drawing on their shared experience, they decided to pool their expertise and digitize their business to make it more accessible to you!
Pooling Resources - The starting point is simple: too many of their colleagues feel compelled to move to Switzerland to work because becoming a watchmaker requires a very high initial investment to acquire the tools, equipment, and machinery necessary to produce work that meets the high standards demanded by this complex craft. By creating Le Pôle Horloger, they are helping to keep this art form alive and retain their talent and expertise in France.
Digitalization - Digital transformation is at the heart of today's society. They want to ensure that the 700-year-old craft of watchmaking can coexist with modernity. By founding Le Pôle Horloger, they are contributing to this modernization while honoring tradition.
Convenience - They understand how difficult it can sometimes be to figure out where to get your watch repaired, the trip to the store that this entails, and the wait times involved in getting a quote and getting your watch back… By creating Le Pôle Horloger, they make watch repair and maintenance easy, accessible, fast, and guaranteed.
A shared passion: watches!
You don’t become a watchmaker by chance—it’s a calling. It requires a passion for precision work, fine craftsmanship, tradition, quality, art, and the art of handcrafting. For their entire team, this is first and foremost a labor of love, and they are all watch owners themselves. That’s why their top priority is to care for your watches as if they were their own!
