Vague Guilloché
Dials engraved on century-old rose engines in a pattern of rolling waves, turned by hand one line at a time until light moves across them like water.
Haute Horlogerie · Born of the Water
Mechanical timepieces shaped by a lifetime spent beside the water — sealed against the deep, finished by hand, and made for those who measure a life not in hours, but in tides worth remembering.

The Manifesto
Water taught us everything we know about time. It is patient. It is relentless. It always finds a way. We build watches the same way — sealed, steady and unhurried — so that a single gesture of the wrist carries the weight of the tide, and outlasts everyone who wears one.
The Collections
Grande Complication
Cut from a single slab of aventurine glass, the dial holds a sky that never repeats. Beneath it, a moon-phase disc accurate to one day in 122 years, set by hand in a 950 platinum case and limited to twenty-five pieces worldwide.
The Atelier
Every Paganessi movement is assembled from start to finish by a single watchmaker, whose initials are engraved beneath the balance bridge. Nothing is hurried. The balance oscillates at 28,800 vibrations an hour, and is regulated in six positions before a watch is allowed to leave the bench.
Dials engraved on century-old rose engines in a pattern of rolling waves, turned by hand one line at a time until light moves across them like water.
Triple-gasket crowns and screw-down casebacks, each case pressure-tested in water before it is ever allowed near a wrist.
Enamel fired up to twelve times at 800°C. One flaw in the last firing and the dial is lost. Most are.

The Maison
We produce fewer watches in a year than the great houses produce in a morning. It is the only way we know to make each one worthy of a second lifetime.
A founder who spent a career in the water industry — pumps, pressure, flow and seals — and a single workbench where that discipline turned to watchmaking.
Our first movement, designed and decorated entirely in-house, beats inside the Aurelia — a gold, enamel-dialled watch that still opens our collection.
Grand feu enamel, aventurine and hand-guilloché join the atelier, bringing artisans whose crafts are older than the wristwatch itself.
Our most ambitious work: a platinum moon phase in twenty-five numbered pieces, each one allocated personally by the Maison.
“Like water, a great watch never stops moving — and never hurries.”
