He is one of the masters in the art of chiming watches.  The origin of his infatuation of watches that play music or strike the time came from his background in a family of musicians. 

He entered Geneva’s Watchmaking School at the age of 16.  In 1987, he secured his first commission at the Basel watch fair for a minute repeater with striking jacks.  In 1989, he built his own company in La Chaux-de-Fonds. 

Today his company employs over 110 people and has its own design studio, metalworking, finishing and assembly workshops. His watchmaking workshops are known as suppliers of highly complicated movements to a number of watch brands
