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.
