Independent atelier, est. 1926
Time, kept
by hand.
Aurent builds fewer than two hundred mechanical watches a year. Every dial is engraved on a hundred-year-old rose engine, every movement finished and signed by the person who assembled it. We do not chase the next release. We build the one you keep.
The making
Three convictions, cut into every piece.
-
01
One movement, one roof
The AUR-01 calibre is drawn, cut, and assembled in a single workshop, then adjusted in five positions across seventy-two hours of running reserve. Nothing is outsourced, so nothing is anonymous.
-
02
Engraved, never printed
Each dial passes by hand under a century-old rose engine. The guilloche you see is cut into solid metal, not laid on top of it. No two dials carry the same line, and none can be repeated.

03
Numbered, and cared for
We finish fewer than two hundred watches a year. Every piece is numbered, entered in the atelier ledger, and welcomed back for service for as long as it runs. A watch you buy once.
We would rather build one watch slowly than a thousand quickly.

By appointment
See it on the wrist before you decide.
Each viewing is private and unhurried. Bring nothing but your questions. We will walk you through the movement, the engraving, and the ledger your watch will be entered into.
