A New Approach to Handcrafting in Watchmaking
"The New Awake Sơn Mài Collection Makes Métiers d’Art Accessible To All."

"These timepieces are made for enthusiasts with a genuine interest in age-old techniques, and those who are willing to take a closer look."

"The good news is that the beautifully handcrafted dials, the new case and the reputable Swiss movements can all be enjoyed for under EUR 2,000 (excl. tax)."

"Awake Gives Us a Lesson in Creating Watches for Future Generations."

"With the new Son Mai collection, French indie watch brand, AWAKE, is demonstrating a new approach to Métiers d’Art horology."

"I think AWAKE delivers something quite beautiful, with a varied texture that captures the light for a wide array of hues."


Savoir-Faire
The Art of Time, shaped by Hand.
We work with exceptional artisans whose gestures bring soul to each creation. Every dial, every surface, every texture holds a story — made not by machines, but by the human hand.
Our production is limited by design. Not to create scarcity, but to honour the time it takes to do things well.
