« As complicated as a women. Except it’s on time » - So funny (and true for me!). I love being a woman who’s building and evolving in an industry that’s still very male-dominated, it’s a real plus!
2 __Sports
Sport makes us rethink our notion of time. Whether it’s the quest for performance or learning to be patient, sport gives me a special relationship with time. (It’s also the only time I allow myself to wear a connected watch 😂 )
3 __Watchmaking is a family affair
Whether it’s my grandmother’s Omega watch that she gave me for my 18th birthday, the passion for watchmaking that my father passed on to me, or the love of watches that my mother and brother also have... watchmaking is a family affair for us.
4__Travel and encounters
Watchmaking connects all generations, all styles, all cultures. I love travelling, meeting, exchanging and sharing. All very different, but all passionate.
5__Tradition AND Innovation
Atmos: It’s for this kind of invention that I love watchmaking. A perfect blend of expertise, complexity and tradition. A Perpetual movement that will always fascinate me and that left its mark on me when I was young.
