Origin

Alain Philippe was founded in Switzerland in 1995. We came to watchmaking from high jewellery, and we brought its standards with us: stones selected and matched by eye, settings executed by hand, gold finished to the level expected of a jewel. From the beginning we have made watches for women, set with diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Gem-setting

We grade, match and set every diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire by hand. On the most elaborate pieces, the setting extends across the case, the bezel and every link of the bracelet.

Gold work

We make our dials by hand in 18kt gold. Our cases and bracelets are produced in white, yellow and rose gold, woven, arcaded or paved according to the collection.

Watchmaking

Each movement is cased and finished by hand before the dial is sealed.

Collections

Each of our collections carries the same stones, the same gold and the same handwork, in its own expression.
