The Story of L’Artisan

By Arnaud

It all began with a fascination. At 16, I found myself captivated by the world of watches—their intricate mechanics, designs, and the stories they tell. I never imagined that just a year later, I’d be making them myself.

At 17, life took an unexpected turn. In a twist of events, I was pushed not just to admire watches, but to create them. What started as a challenge quickly turned into a passion. In 2022, I crafted my first timepiece—and with that, L’Artisan was born.

I had zero background in watchmaking. No formal training, no mentors—just pure curiosity and determination. I taught myself everything from scratch: assembly, design, polishing, finishing, and eventually dial manufacturing. Every mistake became a lesson, and every small win kept the fire burning.

In that first year, I was fortunate to receive opportunities from several local companies, who entrusted me to build custom sportive watches with their logos on the dial. These collaborations were a game-changer—they helped me sharpen my skills and fund my first true L’Artisan projects.

Since then, my work has constantly evolved. One year ago, after six months of blood sweat and tears, I finally mastered the craft of creating stone dials—each one unique, bold, and full of character. It’s now the core focus of my work.

L’Artisan is more than just a watch brand. It’s a symbol of what’s possible when passion meets determination.

Uniqueness. Quality. Value.

I believe luxury shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag. My mission is to offer exceptional value for money—blending premium materials, hand-finishing, and original design into timepieces that stand out in every way.

Every L’Artisan watch tells a story. This is mine.
I can’t wait to be part of yours.
