Cédric Johner

Cédric Johner embodies the essence of artisanal watchmaking as an independent in Geneva. Creator of unique watches, he stands out for his rare ability to design by hand, without technical plan, exceptional pieces at each stage of manufacture.

Having started his career as a jeweler, he merges his skills to shape watches in which up to 80% of the components are his own creation, from the case to the hands. His workshop, steeped in tradition, reflects his artistic approach. Inspired by his environment, he creates each watch as a work of art. Each mechanical component benefits from an exceptional level of finish.

Cédric works in a non-linear way, juggling between several models simultaneously to stimulate his creativity. This approach, similar to that of a painter, allows him to explore different perspectives and bring unique creations to life.

Although some details of his work may escape view, he is convinced that the traditional watchmaking art will endure. Cédric welcomes young enthusiasts in his workshop, sharing his know-how and thus contributing to the durability of this craft. The inscription of watchmaking know-how on the UNESCO World Heritage reinforces his conviction in a promising future for this art form.
