Description

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Charles-Henri Meylan emerged as one of the most brilliant watchmakers of his time. Trained in Europe and active in the United States, he created pieces of remarkable complexity before founding his workshop in Brassus in 1888. Although his name has gradually faded in favor of the great houses, his journey embodies that of an entire generation of genius artisans. This exhibition aims to shed light on his work and his significant contribution to the history of watchmaking.
