The new BIVER watch takes you back to the origins of watchmaking

The titanium sodalite (right) and obsidian (left) dials. Silver obsidian symbolises rebirth while sodalite represents harmony and peace.

In the spirit of the watch collector that is Jean-Claude Biver, and in that of the lover of historical watches that is his son Pierre Biver, the making of the new BIVER watch takes you back to the origins of watchmaking.

Doing things differently also means choosing to start with complexity, so the Bivers chose the mechanism known as the minute repeater as the first chapter of the book that they are now writing.
