“Invenit et Fecit was the inscription that 18th Century French horologers engraved on their pocket watches, once their movements were recognized as original and recorded by the Royal Academy of Sciences. Since I only use new calibres of my own invention, I decided to use this Latin phrase that clearly indicates the origin of my movements. Still, I don't pretend to be a 'manufacture'. Moreover, there is not a single veritable and complete 'manufacture' in Switzerland. But, at least Invenit et Fecit offers a clear indication in a world that is becoming more and more confused by the definition of what is an original movement.”
