Philippe Tournaire is an independent French brand established in 1973 and headquartered in Montbrison. The house was founded by self-taught jeweler Philippe Tournaire and is currently a family-operated business with his son, Mathieu Tournaire, leading the creative direction of their workshops in France and their boutique on Place Vendome in Paris. The brand is recognized for its unique fusion of fine jewelry, architecture, and horology, often incorporating miniature precious metal representations of iconic monuments and symbols into its designs.
Enthusiasts are drawn to Philippe Tournaire for its artisanal, sculptural approach and the use of handcrafted precious metals. The brand’s watchmaking catalog includes several key pieces and collections: – Paris Forever: A high-luxury 18-karat gold timepiece featuring a one-minute tourbillon and a bezel sculpted with Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame.
– Expression Collection: This line includes models like the Expression Lady and the Cogs of Time, which are characterized by bespoke cases and dials powered by Swiss mechanical movements.
– TimexBox: A series of limited-edition projects resulting from various collaborations.
