The story
Weil initially sold his designs from a foldout bridge table in a stall in Geneva. The line included both the traditional spring-powered and cog-and-gear mechanical watches, as well as quartz-powered ones. He marketed the watches internationally towards lower-end luxury watch buyers.
In July 2018, the company moved its UK head office into St Peter’s Square in Manchester.
In 2023, the brand experienced a resurgence, with its latest model, the Millesime Small Seconds, winning the Challenge Prize at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars" of the watchmaking world.
