Brand founded by Frenchmen Robin Tallendier (a former member of the French Chamber of Watchmaking in Shanghai) and Wilfried Buiron, built around traditional Chinese craftsmanship (guilloché, cloisonné enamel, porcelain) showcased on dials made by Chinese master artisans. Legally headquartered in Hong Kong, though the brand's operational base is strongly tied to mainland China (Shanghai) and to France. Its movements vary by collection: Chinese calibers (Dandong/Peacock) for the original Perception line, the French Pequignet EPM03 caliber for Perception V3 and Ancestra, and the Swiss Girard-Perregaux GP03300 caliber for Inflection.
