The Art of the Skeleton

 

In the heart of Jura Switzerland, and more precisely in L’Abbaye, a typical village in the Vallée de Joux where the harsh winters have given birth to great ideas and realizations of time measurement, the Family House CLAUDE MEYLAN maintains and proudly perpetuates its ancestral know-how.

​

MEYLAN is one of the four historical families founding fine watchmaking. In the middle of the 18th century, Samuel Olivier Meylan and Abraham-Samuel Meylan were introduced to the art of watchmaking in Rolle and Fleurier. Back in Vallée de Joux, Samuel-Olivier Meylan designed and manufactured pocket watches equipped with movements and music discs, and naturally, the passion for movement became a family tradition. CLAUDE MEYLAN strengthens its heritage and extends its know-how by "undressing" and decorating each element of the movement.

​

CLAUDE MEYLAN likes to present new shapes and harmonies on bridges, wheels, and trains to express a new vision of time while establishing a new art of sculpted pieces. Generations succeed one another and perpetuate the passion for movements, fine watchmaking, and the most minute detail.
