Some watches measure time.
Others preserve it.

Naissance d’une Montre 2 belongs to the latter.

We are honored to share that this extraordinary piece has been successfully placed through a private sale under Perpétuel’s Rare Finds division — a discreet transaction worthy of a project that was never meant for the ordinary marketplace.

Naissance d’une Montre is not a product. It is a philosophy.
A quiet rebellion against industrial watchmaking.
A return to the human hand.

Created under the Time Æon Foundation, the project was born from a simple but profound question:
What would happen if a watch were made today entirely by hand, using traditional 19th-century methods — without automation, without shortcuts, without compromise?

The answer is Naissance d’une Montre.

Every bridge, every wheel, every surface is shaped, finished, and assembled using techniques that require patience measured not in hours, but in generations. The watch is not simply assembled; it is cultivated. It carries within it the rhythm of the craftsman — the subtle irregularities that only human touch can produce, and the quiet perfection that only discipline can achieve.

The Meaning of Rare

When we speak of “Rare Finds,” we do not refer only to scarcity.
We refer to significance.

Naissance d’une Montre 2 now continues its story in the hands of a collector who understands its purpose; not merely as an object of beauty, but as a guardian of knowledge.

Because this watch does not only tell the time.
It carries forward a tradition.

At Perpétuel, we remain committed to identifying and placing timepieces that transcend commerce — pieces that represent artistry, heritage, and the enduring power of the human hand.

Some sales close a transaction.
Others close a chapter in history.

This was the latter.
