This is truly a beautiful Oris Diving watch!

Review by Raylene, From United States Cupertino

It was a unique conjunction in watchmaking. While exhibiting the new version of its "Gustave Eiffel" at the Belles Montres trade fair, the brand received a visit from… Mr Philippe Couperie-Eiffel, a direct descendant of the man himself!
While the two worlds had indeed already collided, notably in developing this unique timepiece paying tribute to the genius of Mr Eiffel, this particular physical encounter was anything but ordinary, since seeing the Eiffel on Mr Eiffel's wrist is no everyday event. WorldTempus grabbed this unique opportunity to capture their vision of each other.

WorldTempus: What connections do you maintain with the memory of your great-great-grandfather, and therefore with the watch that pays tribute to him?
Philippe Couperie-Eiffel: The connection? Switzerland! I spent many summers in Vevey at Gustave Eiffel's property. I was very close to his daughter, Valentine, who died when I was 16. I grew up in close and direct contact with Gustave Eiffel, surrounded by his souvenirs, his plans, his splendour. Valentine left me his will, a unique document that also nurtured the writing of my book Eiffel by Eiffel.

Why did you choose a watch as the symbol of your admiration for him?
Every part of this great man's history is summed up this object: the mechanics, the precision, Switzerland. In Antonio Terranova, the co-founder of Cvstos, I encountered a very meticulous man. A friend introduced us and I must say I was immediately taken with him. Antonio was very interested in our family and we talked a lot. He understood my motivation to pay tribute to Gustave Eiffel through exceptional objects.

How were you involved personally in the creation of the piece?
I went to Cvstos' workshop several times. For example, I wanted to achieve a very light watch. That's what my great-great-grandfather would have wanted. He himself was a pioneer in terms of very open, airy architecture. You can see it clearly in his use of St Andrew's cross on the Tower which bears his name.
Generally speaking, I didn't get involved in the aesthetics of the piece. I maintained an engineer's perspective, just as Gustave Eiffel would have done. And parallel to this, another constant concern was to create a sustainable object. That is the essential characteristic of my ancestor's work. Nobody truly knows the full scope of his work, which ranges from the Tower to the Panama Canal, through railway lines, bridges, viaducts, railway stations, etc.

Are you considering other projects of this kind?
I can't take the liberty of revealing them before discussing such plans with Cvstos! For now, we are presenting a model with a new silver-toned finish. I know what the immediate future holds, but I think you'll have to wait for Baselworld...
As for me, my primary concern is ensuring that the name of Eiffel is duly preserved and respected. I fought for a long time - and won - against an international BTP group who were using our name in an unauthorised manner (Editor's note: the Eiffage vs Eiffel case, lost by the former in January 2010). It is now protected. Currently, I would like to open a museum in his honour in Vevey, where he lived for a long time, and perhaps even a memorial in Panama. Today, we are 60 direct descendants. I think that it is our duty to undertake activities like this in his memory.

Founded in 2004 in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel, and now based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Hautlence- whose name is itself an anagram of Neuchatel - pays tribute to the birthplace of the watchmaking art. The brand has been praised by watch collectors and aficionados from across the world for bringing a new dynamism to the art of fine watchmaking and redefining the way we tell the time.

Hautlence has pushed the boundaries of traditional watchmaking codes, taking inspiration from the past and combining this with innovative modern mechanical solutions borrowed from other high-tech industries, with its architecture and designs displaying an unmistakable Bauhaus influence. This has inspired the brand to create new approaches to displaying the time, guaranteeing its place in the annals of watchmaking history.

To help ensure traditional watchmaking values are both preserved and elevated, the brand is creating brand new complications in its Atelier d'horlogerie contemporaine based on movements made entirely in-house. Led by Guillaume Tetu, one of the brand's founders and directors, a talented ten-b team works to ensure that the spirit of Hautlence and its timepieces is continually evolving while remaining true to its signature.
Hautlence timepieces are designed, created and produced according to the very highest tradition of Swiss watchmaking, as witnessed by the legend "Horlogerie Suisse" stamped on the case-back. With the sole exception of the straps and some of the sapphire crystals, every component used in the timepieces is conceived, developed and assembled in-house and machined by the very best suppliers in the canton of Neuchâtel.
Today, Hautlence can boast 5 collections, all based on calibres developed in-house. The brand produces and sells several hundred pieces a year. It has a presence in around thirty markets, with 40 authorised points of sale.

By moving to La Chaux-de-Fonds in 2011, Hautlence is now closer to a number of talented partners, including profile-turners, case-makers and dial-makers, who work with the company to create the models of the future. It also benefits from the expertise of exceptional craftsmen in the arts of finishing and decoration such as hand-bevelling, guillochage and engraving.

WHY LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS?
La Chaux-de-Fonds has a worldwide reputation for watchmaking and micro-technology. Located in the Canton of Neuchâtel, it was recognised in 2009 as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its exceptional horological urban development. In the 17th century, mountain farmers began to carry out manual production of clock components during the long winters, starting the tradition of peasant-watchmakers. This continued until the 18th century, when the first workshops brought several watchmakers and machines together in the same place.
The town has a special creative atmosphere and several of its sons have made a mark on their times such as the architect Le Corbusier, the writer Blaise Cendrars and the car manufacturer Louis Chevrolet. It also attracts a host of exceptional craftsmen, particularly in the special world of watchmaking. Generations of talented artisans, who practice their arts with devotion and subtlety.
Just like Hautlence.
