THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

arthelay
This parisian brand took flight in the 1930s when alexis Barthelay, a connoisseur of gems and jewelry, created pieces for the famous jewelry
boutiques of place Vendôme. In the 1960s alexis’ son roland took the design aesthetic in a new, modern direction, focusing on watches with
easy-to-wear shapes. Then in 1994, roland’s own son alexis, took over leadership. He joined his company with the franck muller Group in 2005.
Throughout its existence, the brand has been focused on female clients—and creating timepieces purposely for the feminine wrist.
