ARTISAN OF HIS STORY

THE PROJECT
OF Mr V.B

V.B has chosen Eternal Green on his wrist, as a symbol of life’s enduring and infinite nature. A color to outlast time.

I’ve been collecting watches for over 30 years and wear them only rarely. I enjoy preserving them in their original state and choose to wear them at the right moment, often on special occasions. Their history then becomes tied to an experience, an emotion, a moment in my life. Horology is a passion, a love that neither fades nor passes.

By personalizing one of my watches, I decided not to let it tell an experienced story, but to create its own story, visibly reflecting my desires, choices, who I am and what inspires me. Like a story engraved in Eternal Green.

AN ART DEDICATED

Since its inception, our workshop has worked meticulously to offer our passionate clientele the most personalised horology experience. Returning to the origins of the profession where the watchmaker dedicates himself to the individual desires of each client, according to their unique codes, tastes and personal history. It is in this way that we are reconnecting with the roots of a vocation where man, his hands and his tools are definitively bringing the clients’ desires to life.

A word from our client,

Personal mark

Owning a watch means wearing it to give it a history. With the help and craftsmanship of Artisans de Genève, I am reinterpreting a watch I know by heart, reimagining its aesthetics right the way down to hidden details, so that this watch now tells my own story and testifies to who I am, who I was at a moment in my life. It’s also about a multitude of possibilities, the freedom to make unlimited choices of colors, materials and finishes while thinking about the meaning behind all these details. It’s a process that is both creative and introspective, an exciting and enriching adventure into uniqueness – and the patience to wait before being able to wear it again.

Hand
Skeletonization

The Patek Philippe® 324 movement has been entirely reworked. First sketched on paper to define the lines and curves, it was then cut with a wire to reveal the movement’s gears and bridges. Each section was then bevelled and polished by hand, before receiving a PVD treatment in Eternal Green.

From a brass block

The dial was developed and crafted in our own workshops. Made from a block of brass, it was then bevelled and entirely hand-circled to match the case’s finishings. A first layer of white gold was applied before the final Eternal Green PVD treatment. Finally, SLN points were hand-applied to ensure night-time readability.

Dedicated Strap

Green Rubber
Strap

The strap was specially developed in Switzerland with our partner Rubber B to perfectly match our client’s desires. Made from genuine rubber, the strap was moulded from a titanium insert to ensure a perfect fit from the case to the deployant clasp.

Balance
Bridge

Signature of the House The balance bridge was crafted from a block of steel before being entirely hand mirror-polished for an unmatched reflective effect.

Hands

The hour, minute and second hands were handmade from a block of yellow gold. The top part is hand-satin finished, and the facets are diamond-polished to enhance brightness.

Rotor

The gold rotor was hand-pierced with a specific boc-fil cut. Each line was bevelled and circled by hand to bring contrast and depth to the skeletonized movement.

FINAL WORDS FROM THE CLIENT

HIS TIME. HIS WATCH. HIS STORY.

In a word, it’s my way of fully owning my watch. Personalizing my watch with Artisans de Genève has been a memorable personal adventure. For the first time, I am the designer of one of my favorite watches. The emotion felt is like déjà vu, while also experiencing it for the first time. It is a feeling I had when I had a 1974 Porsche 911® restored and found it again a year later both the same yet so different. I loved seeing my watch take shape, detail by detail; participating in its creation, step by step. I appreciated the attention, respect, passion, and time dedicated by Artisans de Genève to my project. It’s a unique experience for any collector. A moment as eternal as the green of this watch.

Mr. V.B
