The Honoris I by Haute-Rive

Sep 1

1'000 Hours of Power Reserve!

We are thrilled to present you the new video with an incredible timepiece engineered by the descendant of a clockmaker for the Pope.

Stéphane Von Gunten had a fantastic career in watchmaking before launching his own brand Haute-Rive, which has turned out to be exceptional since its inception.

The very first model of the new brand is called the Honoris and has an astonishing 1000-hour power reserve movement! The name of the watch itself, Honoris, was chosen as a tribute to one of Stéphan's ancestor’s creations patented in 1889, a pocket watch with 8 days of power reserve, known as the Hebdomas. The historical timepiece has also inspired Stéphan to create the intricate mechanism with almost 42 days power reserve.
