The history of Emile Chouriet

Mr. Emile Chouriet was a master watchmaker in 1685 in Geneva. The Emile Chouriet brand,owned by Montres Chouriet Company was created in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand name, EMILE CHOURIET which was reactivated by Jean Depéry, was a means to paying tribute to Mr. Emile Chouriet and, through him, his ancestor, François Dagobert Dupéry. For Jean Depéry comes from a long line of Master Watchmakers, whose history goes back to 1700. At that time, François Dagobert Depéry supplied Emile Chouriet with watch components. In 1685, like many master watchmakers, Emile Chouriet left France to flee from religious persecution. He opened his workshop in Geneva and there developed his watchmaking craft. He specialised in the decoration of the "onion" pocket watch. This watch was very futuristic for its time. It had a very large balance wheel, for more precision, and was very popular with the aristocracy and haute bourgeoisie. His workshop soon became a reference for his elegant and delicate style and his meticulous décors. Emile Chouriet skilfully decorated enamelled watches to which he added intricate guilloche patterns, foils, pearls and golds of different colours. Choice of materials, engraving work and inlaid precious stones: everything added up to perfection. Our responsibility is to bequeath the heritage of skilled craftsmanship to current and future generations!", declared Mr. Jean Depéry, Director of Montres Chouriet, SA.
