Moving beyond simple announcements, the French independent brand recently concluded a seven-day “gentleman-thief” narrative to reveal its most ambitious project yet: the Daylee. From a cryptic investigative board to the final unveiling of a 38mm “classic daily” powerhouse featuring a La Joux-Perret G100 movement and anti-scratch treated 316L steel, we look back at the cinematic week that redefined the brand’s trajectory.

Discover our full review of its decorated 60-hour-reserve movement, in-house regulation, and lifetime warranty.
