Hand-finished movement
Each calibre is bevelled, black-polished and regulated in five positions by one watchmaker, whose initials are engraved beneath the balance.
Tolerance: ±2 seconds per day, certified at delivery.
Nimbus Atelier · Precision Timepieces
Quiet precision, measured in microns.
Small-batch mechanical timepieces — assembled, regulated and signed at a single bench by a single watchmaker.
Features · The instrument
Engineered to disappear on the wrist
Ninety-hour reserve
A twin-barrel architecture stores ninety hours of autonomy behind a micro-rotor of solid gold — silent, and entirely visible.
Winding measures under 30 decibels at the ear.
Lifetime stewardship
Every Nimbus is archived, serviced and traceable for life — a ledger that follows the piece, never the owner.
Complimentary service every fifth year, indefinitely.
Process · The atelier
From ingot to instrument
Sourcing
Certified recycled gold and grand feu enamel arrive from two family suppliers we have relied on for a decade.
Assembly
One watchmaker assembles, regulates and signs each calibre — roughly six unhurried weeks per instrument.
Delivery
The piece travels in a lacquered case with its archive folio, service schedule and the maker’s signature.

In their words
It does not shout. Three months in, I notice it less every day — and reach for it every morning regardless.
The finishing survives the loupe. In twelve years of auctions I have rarely seen this discipline at this volume.
FAQ · Common questions
Before you write to us
How long is the waiting list?
Current lead time is four to six months. A refundable deposit of five percent secures your position in the atelier’s queue.
What does lifetime stewardship include?
Complimentary servicing every five years, permanent movement archiving and transferable provenance — for as long as the piece exists.
May I visit the atelier?
Certainly. Collectors may book a private viewing in Geneva; we ask for two weeks’ notice and happily open the workshop floor.
