 The Balance Between
Technique and Poetry

My pursuit of the perfect balance between technique and poetry has led me to seek equilibrium in form. Uniting the austerity of pure metal and its geometric lines with the sensuality of refined curves.

Commanding in its mechanics yet restrained in expression, L'Impétrant embodies the very values upon which it is founded.

 « La vie est mouvement » — Aristote
The first caliber developed by the brand

This first manufacture caliber was specially developed by the brand. Its distinguishing feature: a dynamic visual.

The dual retrograde display of hours and minutes stands as the defining characteristic of this movement.

The balance wheel, measuring 11.5 mm in diameter, is visible from the dial side and oscillates at a measured frequency of 3 Hz, allowing for optimal visualization of its motion.

The 70-hour power reserve is indicated by a vertical cone visible from the front, complemented on the back by a hand for a more precise reading.

A Maltese cross integrated between the barrel bridges ensures chronometric stability, preventing any drift in the movement's precision while preserving the integrity of the mechanism.

This horological architecture transforms each reading of time into a mastered mechanical spectacle, where each component reveals its function in a ballet of absolute precision.

Technique and Harmony

The case of L'Impétrant proved to be an exercise in creative coherence where every element finds its rightful place.

Machined from Grade 23 titanium, it benefits from the exceptional properties of this lightweight, technical, and biocompatible material.

The outer diameter is 39 mm by 10.8 mm in height for easy wearing. The watch is easily forgotten on the wrist thanks to its dimensions and contained weight.

Aesthetically, the contrast between the central container with its concave polish and the satin-finished surfaces creates a subtle play of light.

This 28-component case embodies the alliance of technique and harmony, designed for daily wear by both men and women.

Refinement, Singularity and Heritage

“I have always been drawn to beautiful objects and full of admiration for the dexterity of those who work with their hands,”,

The 23 mm titanium hands are hand-beveled along their entire length and anglaged on the counterweight, center, and tip.

On the reverse, the power reserve hand undergoes a different treatment: it is cambered to sit as close as possible to the power reserve indicator plate.

The seconds hand is flame-blued by hand.

The Founder

Stéphane Pierre, a trained mechanical engineer, is the founder of the watchmaking house bearing his name. At the age of twenty, he discovered the world of horology and made himself a promise: one day, he would create his own timepiece. 

He began his career in watchmaking production, within a specialized subcontractor focused on the manufacture of watch hands, where he became familiar with the exacting standards and precision that define this craft.

Driven by curiosity and a passion for exploration, he subsequently chose to venture into new horizons and spent several years within a small enterprise serving the military sector. There, he discovered the world of submarines. This demanding experience left an indelible mark on his perspective regarding technique, rigor, and versatility. He departed from this position in 2018.

Based on the shores of Lake Annecy, near Geneva, he advised various fine watchmaking houses as a consultant until 2022, when Stéphane resolved to bring his own creation to life.

He then devoted himself to designing his first timepiece, produced in a limited series, technical yet elegant, bearing the imprint of a singular vision.
