The Patrium collection is the pure expression of our watchmaking identity. Designed by the talented Fabrice Gonet and Olivier Leu of Edge Design in Écublens (Vaud), each watch is a work of art, combining elegance, lightness, and timelessness. Thanks to an innovative, tool-free interchangeability system, you can personalize your watch according to your desires, reflecting your unique personality.
The 39 mm case, made of grade 5 titanium by AB Product in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel), combines robustness, lightness, and comfort. This hypoallergenic and resistant material provides our watches with exceptional durability while offering a refined and modern design. The sapphire crystals, treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides, protect the dial while ensuring perfect legibility in all circumstances.
The dial reflects our artistic and artisanal approach. Crafted by GT Cadrans in Lonay (Vaud), each dial is a unique piece, showcasing carefully selected precious or semi-precious stones. Mother-of-pearl, jade, turquoise, lapis lazuli… these natural materials create fascinating plays of light, making each bimbu watch truly singular.
At the heart of each bimbu timepiece beats the mythical Peseux 7001 caliber, an extra-flat hand-wound movement dating back to 1971. This movement, renowned for its reliability and mechanical elegance, has been modified and enhanced by Concepto in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel). The high-end finishes and meticulous decorations provide a touch of horological excellence, offering a power reserve of 42 hours.
The Sitelle baton-shaped hands, designed by Waeber in Fleurier (Neuchâtel), are treated with high-quality finishes to harmonize perfectly with the dial. The attention to detail, such as the invisible axis of the hands and the photoluminescent indexes, testifies to our incessant quest for perfection and excellence.
The straps, made by Multicuir SA in Meyrin (Geneva), offer a multitude of styles thanks to high-quality materials such as soft calfskin, rubber, or alligator. The quick and easy interchangeability allows you to adapt your watch to each occasion, reinforcing the personal connection with your timepiece. These straps are connected to your wrist by means of an ardillon buckle also in grade 5 titanium, manufactured at Beauregard Manufacture SA in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel).
Your bimbu watch is presented in an innovative and transformable case, designed to be useful and responsible. This case transforms into a travel pouch for your watches, combining practicality and elegance. It is accompanied by a watchmaker’s loupe to appreciate every detail of your timepiece. This case is delivered in a genuine leather backpack, tanned in Italy and assembled in Spain, which you can use every day. This accessory, crafted by The Bespoke Company in Paris (France), reflects our desire to break away from the traditional codes of luxury to offer a complete and meaningful experience.

The design, developed by Fabrice Gonet and Olivier Leu of Edge Design in Ecublens (Vaud), highlights the care taken in the creation of each component. The result is a light, slender, and timeless watch that can be worn on any occasion. Its look can be modified simply by changing its strap, thanks to a tool-free system, with a simple press. This watch is intended to be elegant, precise, robust, but also precious, thanks to the central role of the decorative stone on its dial and case back. An excellence dedicated to the pleasure of discovering it a little more each day, the sensory pleasure of touching a fluid object, without roughness. A sophisticated softness, yet completely relaxed. The first model is extra-flat, representing the sought-after apparent simplicity, the quest for ultimate
The 39 mm case is made entirely of grade 5 titanium, which gives it a surprising lightness. The slender appearance is reinforced by a contained thickness of 8.8 mm. This fragility is only an illusion, because grade 5 titanium provides this case with all the qualities required to house our timepiece: shock and scratch resistance, durability, thermal insulation, and hypoallergenic properties. This alloy containing 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium provides our watch with all the guarantees of longevity and durability. Manufactured in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel) at AB Product, the case features a complex three-piece construction (bezel, case back, and middle), all treated in different finishes: polished, brushed, and grained on its middle, providing elegance and timelessness. The shape of the case back is unique. It offers, like a well-kept secret, a delicate reminder of the dial, in particular the semi-precious stone constituting the small seconds counter positioned at 6 o’clock. One can admire the striking spectacle of the fully redesigned Peseux 7001 caliber, with its graceful finish and renowned reliability. Despite this thinness, the AB Product teams were able to integrate an easy, ergonomic, and discreet system for interchanging the strap, with a simple press. A feat. The piece is water-resistant up to 50 meters deep. The sapphire crystals, also manufactured in Switzerland, receive an anti-reflective treatment on both sides.
The dial is the very expression of the bimbu approach: starting from a natural material to make it a precious and singular object. The delicate dials are all unique, which accentuates the rarity of each piece. They give pride of place to the precious or semi-precious stone for the small seconds counter placed at 6 o’clock. This stone disc is enhanced either by mother-of-pearl or by rhodium-plated and sunray-brushed metal, light or dark, to sublimate each stone. A discreet reminder of the small seconds stone surrounds the movement under a sapphire crystal on the back of the watch, the discreet pleasure of a well-kept secret, intended only for the wearer of this timepiece. The entire dial is traversed by a recessed and raised track, as if each minute were trying to cling to the time that inexorably flows. Crafted from a Super-LumiNova infused ceramic, the meticulously machined indexes ensure optimal legibility day or night, with a refined and graphic design. This work on the raw material was carried out in the workshops and expert hands of GT Cadrans in Lonay (Vaud), heirs to a unique savoir-faire. Their knowledge of stones allowed us to give free rein to our desires: jade or marlstone on a light rhodium-plated background, quartzite with a dark rhodium-plated background, turquoise on a Tahitian mother-of-pearl background, or lapis and cloudy mother-of-pearl. A contrast between the softness of the background and the raw, untouched appearance of the stone. Hypnotic.
The chosen caliber is a great classic of the extra-flat, a hand-wound movement proven and recognized by collectors for its reliability: the Peseux 7001 dating from 1971, which is no longer produced. Its simple and efficient three-bridge structure offers numerous possibilities for adaptation, particularly for haute horlogerie finishes. Its minimal height of 2.5 mm allows the total thickness of the watch to be limited to 8 mm. The daily ritual of manual winding offers this intimate connection between the owner and their timepiece. It has a power reserve of 42 hours and a frequency of 3 Hertz. This Peseux 7001 base has been modified and decorated by Concepto in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel). The hand-setting height has been adapted to allow the use of dials with semi-precious stones. Its copper finish and grained bridges accentuate the softness of the beveling carefully performed by the master watchmakers. Its sunray-brushed ratchet wheel and double-snailed barrel attest to the infinite care given to the decorations and the final assembly of this exceptional caliber.
The true smile of our timepieces, the baton-shaped hands are made in a sober finish and treated in different colors: black-gold, rhodium-plated, and 5N gold-plated. They thus adapt fully to the colors of the minute tracks and indexes of the different dials. An additional refinement: they make the axis that supports them invisible, thus giving a neat and discreet appearance. Adding to the refinement, the small seconds hand is made of solid 5N gold alloy, magnifying the semi-precious stone of the small seconds counter with its noble material. The hour and minute hands receive a Super-LumiNova treatment allowing for nighttime reading. It is in the workshops of the Waeber company in Fleurier (Neuchâtel) that all our hands were designed, manufactured, and finished, with infinite care. The result makes reading the time a unique moment that one never tires of.
The straps are entirely made in Switzerland thanks to the excellence of the Multicuir SA company in Meyrin (Geneva). They incorporate a titanium insert offering a perfect fit with the smooth and streamlined case of our pieces from the Patrium collection. The straps are made in three different materials, thus offering a different look depending on the chosen material: a soft calfskin for the day, a Clous de Paris finish rubber with topstitching for a sportier look, or a sumptuous alligator with timeless elegance for a dressy evening. And this in several colors, recalling or not the stone of the small seconds.
To enhance this freedom of customization, we have developed an exclusive ardillon buckle in collaboration with Beauregard Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel). Entirely made of grade 5 titanium, this buckle blends lightness, durability, and refined design. Thanks to its clever system, you can easily attach or remove your strap using only your fingers—no tools required.
Lightweight, practical, and elegantly designed, the ardillon buckle embodies the discreet luxury and free spirit of bimbu, giving your watch unparalleled versatility to match your personal style and desires.
Your timepiece will be delivered to you in a special box. Indeed, once again, we want to break away from the codes of luxury watchmaking and make “beautiful” useful and responsible. Your case can be transformed and will allow you to transport some of your watches during your travels, in complete safety. It comes with a watchmaker’s magnifying glass to appreciate every detail of your timepiece.
Finally, this box is placed in a backpack made of genuine leather, tanned in Italy and assembled in Spain, with soft leather and a versatile design, which you can then use as a real fashion accessory. Useful, beautiful, solid and timeless. More than a promise. A state of mind.
