The name Simon Brette might be unfamiliar to most, but the 35-year-old watchmaker has spent a decade behind the scenes at some of the most creative independent watch companies in Switzerland. In 2021, he decided to start a business that is centered on independent artisans, with himself as the movement designer. The Chronomètre Artisans Souscription is the culmination of skills and crafts from numerous artisans and watchmakers across the industry. In this interview with Simon Brette, Wei shares a conversation with the young trailblazer about the impressive debut of his Chronomètre Artisans Souscription — limited to only 12 pieces and is sold on a subscription basis.
