VENTURIST

T H E   S T O R Y

The Venturist concept and the fact that this watch would be called ‘Venturist’ came two years after the moment we decided to release a watch with TIMELAB’s Chronometric+ Observatory certification. It was not until the summer of 2018 that Tom made the first sketches of a watch that he wanted to fit in with the different facets of the OC + certification. He then enlisted the help of designer Matthieu Allègre who transformed his sketches into the watch as it is today.

Finally and not unimportant; the Venturist answers the question whether a very small brand like ours could be the first in the world to achieve OC+ certification with a brand new watch.

Every individual Venturist is tested in Geneva for 21 days in order to receive the ‘Observatoire Chronométrique+’ certificate, a guarantee issued by independent Swiss horology laboratory TIMELAB. The Chronometric+ Observatory certification certifies that a watch complies with the requirements drawn up by the laboratory and authorises it to bear the prestigious and official title of “chronometer watch” in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO/CEI 3159 standard. The guarantee covers the finished watch and extends to other aspects relating to its reliability such as water resistance (ISO 22810), magnetic resistance (ISO 764), power reserve and performance on the wrist, in conditions representative of modern life.
