Meet The Legendary Casemaker: Jean-Pierre Hagmann!

When it comes to watches, this guy holds his own place in the pantheon of horological gods, alongside names like Gérald Genta, Philippe Dufour, and others. While he may not always be in the media spotlight, you have undoubtedly encountered his work.

Jean-Pierre Hagmann is the one and only self-taught casemaker who has not only invented the case for the most famous Star Calibre 2000 of Patek Philippe or the latest ‪Louis Vuitton x Rexhep Rexhepi LVRR-01 Chronographe à Sonnerie, but mastered the art of ice skating (yes!), engine construction for motorcycles, built several boats and piloted aeroplanes.

His life story deserves a Netflix series as a testament to the idea that anything is possible when you follow your true heart's desire. Coupled with his impeccable sense of humour, he wins everyone over in an instant.

Watch our new video about Jean-Pierre and leave him your love and appreciation in the comments! And there's a surprise for you at the very end 🤫
