Partners
We are honoured to join forces with valuable partners engaged in making our watches sustainably sourced, socially engaged and swiss made.
d&a partnered with atelier Oï, a Swiss design studio who signed creations for the most famous luxury brands, to develop a monobloc watch case with a minimalistic shape to optimize the operating range during manufacturing. Their expertise has been very instrumental in combining a sophisticated design and an uncompromising quality.
the minimalistic and conceptual design of Selman, the NY based design lab renowned for its engaged artwork, was the answer d&a was looking for to inspire people to be the change they want to see. They gave birth to the subtle graphism visible at a second look featuring engaged messages of peace, diversity and ecology.
it took two years of research and development for d&a to establish a sustainable value chain for a sophisticated Swiss watch while remaining at an affordable price. Overcoming this challenge owes a lot to JER, a highly qualified engineering company specialized in industrialization process applying ultimate technology.
