HIGH-END MOVEMENTS

THE CHOICE OF A MECHANICAL WATCH

To excel in high-end watchmaking, we have chosen to produce only mechanical movements. With manual or automatic winding, our movements are part of the daily life of their wearers for the long term.

Thanks to their aesthetic finishes, our movements are also the pride of their wearers. Through the open back of the watch case, they can enjoy the permanent spectacle they offer of the effects of the play of light combined with the rigorous complexity of the mechanism.

FROM OUR CALIBRE TO YOUR MOVEMENT

Our types of movements largely cover the wide range of watchmaking requirements. They are all customisable, they can be adapted to become exclusively made for a specific customer. The care invested in their design, manufacture and finishing makes them all exceptional movements.

OUR LINES OF MOVEMENTS

Seed VMF3002 : The timeless classic.

With its double barrel, it delivers a more regular energy to its variable inertia balance. Thus optimised, its timekeeping can be COSC certified if requested. Robust and versatile, this movement remains elegant.

Seed VMF 5401 : The alliance of modernity and classicism.

Its reduced thickness and pleasant proportions seduce. Placed in the body of the mechanism, its micro-rotor contributes to its refined aesthetics. Robust and slim, this movement has its home in a range of prestige watches…

Seed VMF 6710 : The integrated chronograph.

A true micromechanical masterpiece. Technical and innovative, its construction combines a high-frequency balance, a column wheel, a vertical clutch, and a linear hammer. This movement is modern, robust, and precise.

Seed VMF 3024 : The self-winding, flying tourbillon.

Fitted with a double barrel, a titanium cage, and a variable inertia balance, it remains slim, precise, and always robust. Its gold oscillating weight and exceptional finishes make it an extraordinary movement.

Seed VMF 5430/22: One of the slimmest tourbillons in the world

The originality of its construction, its avant-garde design and great opportunities for personalisation are real assets. The aesthetics of the finishes of this compact movement make it both modern and timeless.

HIGH-END FINISHES

THE ‘ACIERS’

The ‘aciers’ is the watchmakers’ word for the levers, the springs of a movement. Following their cutting, these parts are finished by hand or using small machine tools. This means working their surface to make it matte, as well as polishing the edges to generate a play of light.

THE PLATES

Very precisely made, the plates (can) still retain slight traces of machining. To erase them, we use circular graining. This is a mechanical operation performed under the watchful eye of one of our specialists. This finishing task is made simpler by a robot which positions the parts under the graining head and removes them when the work is finished.

THE BRIDGES

Here also to create contrasts, we chamfer the bridges with a piercer before decorating them with Côtes de Genève. For their heels, we use the highly specific form of decoration colimaçonnage, or ‘snailing’.

THE GEARTRAIN

Continuing in this spirit of excellence, the discs of the geartrain are circular-grained and gilded, thus always producing a distinct contrast with the highly polished pivots.
