Why should mechanical watchmaking be constrained by tradition? Why not draw on it instead for inspiration in mechanics, aesthetics, comfort and performance? It is to find answers that Stéphane von Gunten founded Haute-Rive. For the love of horological engineering, and carried by a watchmaking lineage spanning three generations – La Chaux-de-Fonds native and inventor Stéphane von Gunten announces the creation of his own brand, Haute-Rive, named after his great-great-grandfather’s atelier, where exceptional timepieces came to be over a century ago. This new independent Swiss watch brand appears at the top of the watchmaking hierarchy. After nearly twenty years at prestigious watchmaking Maisons, Stéphane von Gunten decided to step away from the time constraints of big groups and enjoy total freedom of expression with the skills acquired on a journey that intimately prepared him for this new chapter.
