Founded in 1848, Haas Neveux & Co. is a forgotten brand, which is currently undergoing a renaissance.

The first two phases of the revival have been completed: I. Archival Research; II. Design Codification

Phases III (Contemporary Interpretation) and IV (Movement Development) are underway and phase V (Production) is planned for a later date, as explained on the dedicated website.

In the meantime, here are some models from the past (a completely subjective selection).


Platinum (or silver: information is contradictory) jump hour, date unknown

NB: for whatever reason the "x" of "neveux" (French for the plural "nephews") is missing on this dial...

About the Haas Neveux & Co. Jumping Hour Digital Display

Haas Neveux & Co. represents a contemporary entry in the independent watchmaking landscape, emerging from Geneva's rich horological tradition. While the brand lacks the century-spanning heritage of established Swiss houses, it positions itself within the modern artisanal movement that has gained momentum in recent decades. The company's approach reflects the current trend of smaller manufactures seeking to distinguish themselves through distinctive design languages and selective production runs.

This particular timepiece showcases a minimalist design philosophy with its clean champagne dial and geometric case construction. The watch features a distinctive jumping hour display at 12 o'clock and a retrograde minute indication at 6 o'clock, suggesting complications that move beyond simple time display. The angular case construction and integrated crown design demonstrate contemporary industrial design principles while maintaining classical proportions. The dial's sparse layout allows the mechanical complications to serve as primary visual elements.

As a contemporary independent brand, Haas Neveux & Co. occupies a niche position in the collector market, appealing primarily to enthusiasts seeking alternatives to mainstream luxury offerings. The brand's limited production and distinctive aesthetic may attract collectors focused on emerging manufactures, though market recognition remains limited compared to established independent makers. The watch's value proposition rests on its unique complications and design execution rather than historical provenance or investment potential.
