Under the leadership of Julien Haenny, an experienced and passionate expert,
and powered by an exclusive movement created by Jean-François Mojon,
this timepiece in harmony with nature enters a new dimension, embracing fresh international ambitions.
With the unveiling of its rare new collection, « Segreto di Lario », an invitation to explore the elegance and secrets of Lake Como, BREVA GENEVE presents a haute horlogerie timepiece crafted for aesthetes and collectors of exclusive creations. Designed for everyday wear yet embodying the spirit of fine watchmaking, this new BREVA GENEVE, limited to just 25 pieces, is meticulously crafted to meet the desires of the most discerning collectors.
⦁ The crossed hands: A signature of unique and subtle style : The new timepiece by BREVA GENEVE is instantly recognizable by the distinctive arrangement of its hands. Designed with optimal readability in mind, the double power reserve indicator gives the dial of the « Segreto di Lario » a unique identity. The first hand tracks the long-term power reserve over six days, while the second hand seamlessly takes over for the final 24 hours, providing a more detailed and precise reading of the remaining energy. For collectors who appreciate high watchmaking with precise functionality, it serves as a dashboard of the present moment.
⦁ An intuitive and unprecedented power reserve display: The double retrograde scale :
Easy to read, the double power reserve gauge presents the available energy in two stages: six days at a glance, followed by the remaining 24 hours. This clear and intuitive display allows for an instant understanding of the movement’s autonomy. Behind this seemingly simple display lies a technical feat: a design that brings a more precise and user-friendly way to monitor the watch’s remaining power.

⦁ A specific movement created by Jean-François Mojon: Based on the Chronode caliber C101 movement, the renowned Swiss master watchmaker has developed a modern manual-winding movement with dual barrels, offering an exceptional 7-day power reserve, ensuring stability in precision.
⦁ An elegant design enhanced by meticulously executed finishes: Côtes de Genève, circular satin finishing, polished chamfers, or sandblasted surfaces, the finishing touches and decorations of the movement, dial, and rose gold case are crafted by skilled artisans with a dedication to fine workmanship. The finesse and quality of execution highlight the beauty of the craftsmanship. The 25 pieces of the new BREVA GENEVE "Segreto di Lario" perfectly embody the classic codes of elegance. A refinement to be appreciated daily, when a watch remains discreet yet never goes unnoticed. To connoisseurs, the new BREVA GENEVE stands apart. A luxury for oneself, a mark of quality for those who understand.

⦁ « Les Instruments du Temps »: a creative philosophy. By adopting « Les Instruments du Temps » as its baseline, the young watchmaking house fully embraces its vision. « BREVA GENEVE is much more than a brand. It is a celebration of the measuring instruments that once accompanied great explorers. Our time instruments embody a quest for exclusivity and exceptional craftsmanship, offering today's discerning watch enthusiasts unique timepieces infused with the character and panache of adventurers from the past, » says Julien Haenny, CEO of BREVA GENEVE.
⦁ Julien Haenny, an experienced enthusiast: BREVA GENEVE is reborn today under the leadership of Julien Haenny. With a career spanning over 20 years in the watch industry, he has gained a comprehensive and versatile vision of the field, covering creation and development, as well as strategic, commercial, and communication challenges. Former CEO of Anonimo and Vulcain, Julien Haenny has held executive positions at MGI Luxury Group, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and TechnoMarine, and also served as Head of Marketing & Communication at HYT.
⦁ Design, dials, components, or straps: a team of expert partners. For its new development, BREVA GENEVE collaborates with leading figures and artisans in their respective fields. Fabrice Gonet and Olivier Leu, founders of EDGE Design, have reimagined the lines and volumes. The cases are meticulously crafted by AB Concept. The creation of the dials has been entrusted to Cadranor. This realization is completed by the precision of the hands, manufactured by GMG Composants. The leather straps are handcrafted by the Turin-based maison Cinturini. This added soul is also a guarantee of traceability and certification of the origins of each component, allowing the hands that shaped them to be known.
⦁ An international expansion strategy: As an independent brand, BREVA GENEVE does not intend to limit itself to the intimate circle of collectors and harbors ambitions for development across all markets. Relying on key partners, BREVA GENEVE already has international aspirations. Beyond Switzerland, the brand will be present in Italy, as well as in the United States, Japan, Singapore, and the Middle East.
Blending the spirit of La Dolce Vita from Lake Como with the excellence of Swiss watchmaking expertise, BREVA GENEVE offers lovers of haute horlogerie a hedonistic, refined, and functional timepiece with a high-caliber manufacture movement. Founded in 2010, the independent watch brand remains in symbiosis with nature and embarks on a new chapter in its ascent.

Beauty is a state of mind. It resides in the nuances of every detail, especially when executed to perfection. The infinitely small contributes to the vast, at every moment. Since watchmaking is the science of meticulousness in pursuit of the absolute, BREVA GENEVE is dedicated to carrying the breath of precision forward.
Instrument watches do not have to be rugged to be effective. BREVA GENEVE embraces the choice of offering hedonistic connoisseurs a timepiece with character, easily wearable in everyday life, featuring practical functions such as its unique and unprecedented dual power reserve indication, and useful complications, all while showcasing haute horlogerie finishes and a dedicated manufacture movement, housed in an elegant rose gold case. The best of both worlds.
The Breva, the identity wind of Lake Como.
The sweetness of life on Lake Como would certainly not be the same without this regular and gentle southern breeze coming from the mountains. Appreciated by sailing enthusiasts, it is born from the natural thermal effects of the lake’s environment and gives life to the entire region. More than its name, this joyful, gentle, and subtle Italian wind gives its breath to BREVA GENEVE.
Spiritus subtilitatis: the breath of precision becomes a motto.
Precision has many faces. That of excellence in the shaping and finishing of components. That of rigor in the design, assembly, and adjustment of the movement. That of mastery and imagination in refining the lines of the design.
Precision is a subtle breath that is not only summarized in equations. Proud of its dual Italian and Swiss heritage, BREVA GENEVE returns to the roots of the precision of language and adopts a Latin motto to more universally and precisely affirm its ambition: to make the inspiring breath of precision and subtlety shine.
The Instruments of Time
Beyond their naturalistic inspiration, the watches of BREVA GENEVE carry within their DNA a particular philosophy of measuring the passage of time. An aspiration to surpass the mere status of precision timekeepers to embrace a story even broader than that of horology. Through their design, which combines classic and innovative watch complications with practical indicators, such as the barometer, they pay tribute to the measuring instruments used by explorers, discoverers, travelers, or adventurers of the past. Devices that have always been at the forefront of technical developments of their time, with a demand for reliability, robustness, and efficiency.

The taste of italian elegance
There is no need to try to translate the idea of Sprezzatura to adopt this delightful form of Italian elegance, which feeds on classic codes to give current interpretations with ease and a touch of nonchalance. Proud of their Swiss character, with all that this entails in terms of the pursuit of perfection and uncompromising standards, the watches of BREVA GENEVE gladly embrace the flexibility and refinement of Italian elegance to bring, in everyday life, an added touch of suave joie de vivre.
The story of BREVA GENEVE began one summer evening in 2010. A young entrepreneur traveling along the shores of Lake Como, captivated by the magic of these places steeped in history and allure, began to dream of a different kind of watch that would combine the reading of the passage of time with other information to better understand natural elements. It was during this time that he discovered “La Breva,” the southern breeze that gently caresses this lake, imparting a sense of freedom and mystery. More than just a wind, La Breva became a muse. The essence of the brand's inspiration, it gave it its identity.

Understanding that behind this name lies a soul, the instigators of the revival of BREVA GENEVE have returned to the roots of the brand, on the shores of Lake Como. The magic distilled by the unique atmosphere of this grand natural site, where the memories of a golden age continue to resonate and which is also the remarkable stage of an Italian joie de vivre, immediately takes hold, and a new ambition is born for BREVA GENEVE. Rooted in the timeless elegance of this mythical place, the brand is now focused on recreating the spirit of Dolce Vita and the discreet luxury that marked Italy’s great years. With its majestic villas, sumptuous gardens, and shimmering waters, Lake Como has possessed a cinematic charm for decades, attracting the most glamorous and influential figures in the world.
BREVA GENEVE draws inspiration from this rare beauty to imagine watches that, like Lake Como, reveal their splendor in subtlety and finesse. The brand's creations celebrate this art of living, made of sophistication and discretion. They are aimed at discerning connoisseurs and knowledgeable collectors who share the quest for a modern horological expression that respects tradition. They have a taste for authenticity and beauty. Each piece is therefore an invitation to rediscover time from a new angle, reminding us of the instruments of the past that were precious companions for the explorers and bold scientists who sought to understand the world around them. More than just a watch, each BREVA GENEVE creation carries a new breath within it.
