A story of time.
A story of precision timekeeping.
As humans, we are driven by exploration.
Forever reaching further to discover new ideas, new concepts, new frontiers.
Pushing the boundaries to reach new heights and touch the untouchable.
The future is our destination. Innovation is our tool.
So off we go!
Gliding through the labyrinth of time.
Witnessing life in all its fullness.
Here we push back the limits of time.
Here we reinvent the rules of what can and cannot be done.
We are the winds of change after all.
We introduce a new squadron of seven original Marine Torpilleur models, showcasing the House's 175 years of Haute Horlogerie savoir-faire.

Marine Torpilleur
Freak ONE 44mm
The Freak ONE epitomizes our commitment to innovation and excellence. The watch is powered by the caliber UN-240 Manufacture, an automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve. The flying carrousel movement rotates around its own axis and features a silicon oversized oscillator and hairspring. The escapement is treated with DIAMonSIL for added precision and durability. The 44mm black DLC-coated titanium case has a satin finish and is complemented by a rose gold 5N bezel. The watch is fitted with a black rubber 'ballistic' textured strap, made of 30% recycled rubber from production waste by BIWI. Since it rewrote high-end watchmaking codes more than two decades ago, the Freak’s iconic form has been defined by three signature characteristics: NO DIAL, NO HANDS, NO CROWN. Movement is king as it rotates to tell the time.
