ATELIER DE CHRONOMÉTRIE

Handcrafting unique timepieces offers unlimited freedom for the visionaries of Atelier de Chronométrie - an avenue for creativity to flow, and for the creation of one-of-a-kind watches above and beyond standard customization. These are high-end timepieces with a refined, timeless look inspired by the past, specifically the 30’s and 40’s. Timepieces with a style that will endure forever.

The core team behind Atelier de Chronométrie is a small and multidisciplinary group of individuals led by Santiago Martínez.

Eduard Mercadé is also specialized in micromechanics. The final member of the team, Montse Gimeno, has a degree in Communication and Marketing and alongside Santiago is also a vintage watch expert with more than 15 years of experience.
