I had the enormous pleasure of finally visiting Nicolas Delaloye in his workshop prior to the first day I attended the AHCI event in the center of Geneva. Nicolas is a highly talented Genevan independent watchmaker, who I have had the pleasure of working with since we met in 2006 at Baselworld and I began representing his work in the USA. Since he began, he did take a break and went back to work for the Patek Philippe, in their museum in the restoration department. He re-emerged in 2024 as an Independent with his brilliant new model, “Renaissance” cased in Tantalum. Using his original ND-01 manual wind caliber, beautifully hand finished in his atelier by his own hands.
Utilizing an enamel dial either in ivory or black with romans or arabic numerals.
See more details and photos in the in-depth write up long form blog and on the Watchmaker & Workshop visits page shortly forthcoming.
