Claude Meylan : Sculpteur du Temps
In the depths of the Swiss Jura and more precisely in L’ Abbaye, a typical village in the luxury
watch making Valley (the “Vallée de Joux”) where great winters gave birth to great ideas
and achievements in time keeping, the family company CLAUDE MEYLAN SA maintains
proudly the watch making know-how inherited from their ancestors.
Using the latest innovations offered by the highest
watch making technologies they give birth to the
most valuable timepieces.
MEYLAN is one of the great names which stamped
the expansion of watchmaking : In Mid-18th century
Samuel Olivier Meylan from the Chenit District and
Abraham-Samuel Meylan from L’Orient had been
initiated into the mystery of this art in Rolle and
Fleurier. Once they were back home, both began
to benefit from their acquired knowledge: Samuel-
Olivier Meylan manufactured the first pocket watch
fitted with a disc-musical mechanism and then, the
passion for movements became a family tradition.
CLAUDE MEYLAN grew further the inherited talents
and imposed a new interpretation of time by
“stripping” and decorating each and every possible

elements of the movement. The “Squelette” art is
pushed towards new horizons. CLAUDE MEYLAN
enjoys presenting refined and decorated bridges,
wheels and gear train to express a new vision for
time while setting a new art in sculpted pieces.
Entering our world, you will discover a various and
extensive collection marked CLAUDE MEYLAN,
Vallée de Joux. Each model is unique and
dedicated to “true” time keeping. With a classic,
yet contemporary style, colour and shape combine
in great harmony to ensure charm and elegance. If
you are connoisseurs and unconditional lovers of
fine time-pieces, just yield to the temptation and
opt for a wristwatch fitted with a vintage Valjoux
hand engraved chronograph movement with
column wheel and encased with great care in a 18
ct-gold case.
