Watch Designer, Watchmaker

I am an independent watchmaker and CAD designer with more than eleven years of experience in the watch industry. I run my own workshop where I create high-end bespoke timepieces for collectors. I specialize in designing mechanical movements, but I also have extensive knowledge of watch cases, crowns, dials, hands, buckles, straps, and accessories. In my portfolio, you will find several unique mechanical timepieces that I have designed and manufactured, including multi-axis tourbillons and various complications. As a watchmaker, I am well-acquainted with most major brands on the market and have experience working with suppliers such as ETA, Vaucher, Soprod, Sellita, STP, Seiko, and Miyota. Additionally, I have extensive knowledge of watch development, manufacturing processes, prototyping, CNC machining, micro-mechanics, materials, finishing techniques, assembly, and quality control. My combined experience in design, watchmaking, and manufacturing allows me to develop CAD models that are high-quality, cost-effective, precise, and ready for mass production. For visual presentation and marketing purposes, I can create photorealistic 3D renderings and high-quality animations. (Please see my portfolio)
