The Manufacture traces its origins to the Enlightenment, when the philosopher and brilliant entrepreneur Voltaire opened his watchmaking workshop near Geneva in neighbouring France. Almost 250 years later, Manufacture Royale takes the liberty to play with its founder's captivating past, values and horological creation to instil passion and spirit into its timepieces. Manufacture Royale designs timepieces that reflect a new spirit, inspired by Voltaire's temperament and values. In other words, the freedom of creation, the need to offer a new look at the world, the determination that this implies and the courage to assume an unconventional position set the course. Manufacture Royale watches find their balance between audacity and beauty, tradition and modernity, humility and passion by constantly seeking to offer accessible luxury.
