Get ready for the imminent arrival within the Earth's atmosphere of Celeste, an evolutionary and retro-futuristic timepiece.

Whether made of gold or steel, adorned with Super-Luminova or diamonds, this watch is made to match inter-galactic explorers' helmets and gloves in style. The quilted strands of its strap evoke the quilted leather seats of spaceships as imagined by the masters of science fiction of the 60s and 70s like Syd Mead and found in many pieces of furniture created by Hervet. Like all Hegid watches, Celeste is composed of three parts and the different modules that compose it (Capsule, Carrure and Strap) can be adapted to the watches of existing collections.

In 2008, Nicolas designed a desk for his cousin which turned out to be a founding piece, the trigger for their common creative journey. It is from their workshop in Normandy that the craftsmen perpetuate the family tradition and make art furniture with meticulous respect for traditional techniques. In addition to their exemplary know-how, the duo is now solicited by famous Maisons to create new rare objects with their singular vision.

This is how, for more than one year, Hegid and Hervet Manufacturier have been living under the same roof in Paris, near the Place Vendôme, at number 8 on the Rue Volney. More than a cabinet of curiosities, the two brands share a daily routine of a comparable intimate artisanal business, similar creative influences and a common desire to participate in a new dynamic in their sectors. Since 2018, the two teams have learned to appreciate each other's expertise, and it is for these reasons that, while surprising, this collaboration is organic.
