After studying at the music conservatory in Zurich, Bernard Favre decided that he enjoyed music more when he played purely for pleasure. Favre therefore went to work for himself, designing and producing luxurious, leather-lined watch cases and custom-made accessories. His clients included some of the most prestigious brands in Swiss watchmaking, including Hublot, Parmigiani, Greubel Forsey, Chopard, Piaget, and more.
