Founded in 2004, HAUTLENCE – whose name is an anagram of Neuchâtel – pays tribute to the birthplace of the watchmaking art and is one of the original independents as we know them today. Currently located in the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, HAUTLENCE has become recognized for its iconic TV shaped case and its original concepts in movement and time. It adopts a think tank approach and brings a new vision to the art of watchmaking, while respecting its roots. From hours on chains and spheres to minutes on rotating sapphire discs, HAUTLENCE pushes the boundaries of traditional watchmaking codes while uniting them with mechanical solutions.
