Alexis Garin

Alexis Garin (1939-2020) was born in Val-de-Travers; a region reputed to be the most glacial in Switzerland, but, more pertinently, the cradle of the greatest watchmaking talents.

A graduate of the Technicum – the watchmaking school of Le Locle – the young Alexis cut his teeth in the world’s greatest watchmaking establishments. Propelled by a sense of creative freedom, he soon began developing his own watches, or rather his first timepieces – marvels of technical accomplishment and complications that saw him combine subtlety of detail and perfection of proportion. The Alexis Garin brand was born. For the next 35 years, the maestro’s creations graced the wrists of some of the world’s most influential personalities and delighted numerous connoisseurs, eager to find the ultimate watch – the one that, having come to life in their dreams, finally found its way to the watchmaker’s venerable workshop.

Created in 1986 by Alexis Garin, the brand keeps carrying today its artisan soul and its passion through the expertise of Fabrice Pancini.

Leaving no room for industrial production of any kind, he is ensuring amazing, astonishing, handmade pieces anchored in tradition.
