Pierre Laurent

Pierre Laurent spent twenty-five years working with movements. Trained at the École d'Horlogerie de Morteau in the 1990s, he worked for Swiss and French houses before opening his own workshop in Lyon, where he now restores rare vintage timepieces.

On our editorial team, Pierre brings rare expertise: that of a practitioner who sees what no one else sees. When he examines a watch, he looks beyond the dial: the quality of the movement, the finishing of the components, the real durability of the whole. His analyses are technical but always oriented towards what matters for the person wearing the watch every day.

He covers maintenance, repair, traditional mechanical movements, and questions of authenticity. His patient transmission of watchmaking knowledge makes his articles references for enthusiasts who want to understand what they are buying.
