The Valbray story starts in 2009 when two passionate people, an engineer and a designer, crossed paths…
Young and talented, Côme de Valbray and Olga Corsini, shared a rich experience in the luxury industry, a profound interest for the watchmaking world and the dream to propose their creativity in complete independence. At that time, Olga was working on a collection for a High Jewelry Parisian Maison and Côme was responsible for fabrication processes at a Swiss high-end watch manufacturer. Passionate about photography and optics, subjects of his end-of-studies thesis, Côme saw one day Olga’s designs inspired by spiral sea-shells and found a resemblance to a diaphragm system. The idea to create timepieces with a modern and timeless design based on this complex mechanism crossed his mind.
One year later, the first prototype was realized and the feasibility of the aperture mechanism was validated.
A meeting of chance and the tenacity of a research gave life to Valbray…

Design
The V.02 collection is a nod to the symbolism and balance of the circle, a shape apparent constantly on the watch: from the wheels of date and seconds to the “ring” of the bezel and the flange, circularity imbues the timepieces with its allure.

The “turning” effect is accentuated by the engravings on the bezel that follow the shape and the position of the shutter’s blades. The sensual ovoid case shape is emphasized by the chamfers all along the pure side line. is A small touch of impertinence is present on the dial with the use of half hours at 3.5 and 8.5, while the refined design of the multilayered dial and the path of the hours testify to the meticulous style of the Valbray watches.
The back of the V.02 depicts its intriguing poetry. The engraved phrase “La vérité d’un homme c’est d’ abord ce qu’il cache”1 reminds that to truly understand a man you need to slowly discover his secrets, like every small detail of these unique watches

Oculus System
Its second collection focuses on circularity as a way to enhance the
interactivity of the watch. The innovativeness of the V.02 collection
lies in the re-engineered patented diaphragm system that progressively
unveils the dial functions.
This version, even smaller (with a diameter of 43mm), allows intermediate openings in its course, thus permitting a step by step reading of time. The V.02 timepiece becomes therefore the first in which a different function is displayed at each circular opening phase, with the obturator acting as a cursor to the underlying dial.

The Oculus V.02 Grand dateur collection is equipped by a swiss automatic movement displaying the hours and minutes, a big date and little seconds hand. The movement V.CA2 is an ingenious association between functionality and aestheticism.
Before being assembled, each movement has to pass multiple tests of control and adjustment to achieve the reliability and accuracy standards required by Valbray.
The exclusivity and uniqueness of each watch is certified by its own certificate of authenticity.
