In-House All The Way: The Story Of Schwarz Etienne and Its Manufacture Watchmaking

@schwarzetienne #SchwarzEtienne #MONOCHROMEwatches Named after its founding husband-and-wife duo, Paul-Arthur Schwarz and Olga Etienne, the manufacture of Schwarz Etienne is a proper manufacture. With more than a century of watchmaking to look back on, the company owned brands such as Alpha and Venus in the past, and was also involved in the production of components and tooling for several prestigious brands. In the mid-2000s, Schwarz Etienne made the switch to become a full-fledged manufacture, even producing its own hairsprings. The level of vertical integration is remarkable, as it produces its own watches and movements, as well as private label manufacturing for some of the most intriguing independent brands. Now under the guidance of Florian Brossard, we've seen the launch of the elegant 1902 collection. The brand's core collection encompasses time-only and complication models, with the movements getting a significant upgrade both technically and aesthetically. The latest is a very appealing collaboration with Peter Speake, a revered name in the industry. This, and more, in the full video.
