PRIVATE PROJECT · UNIQUE PIECE
Give birth to a watch that will only belong to you
A story, a symbol, a coat of arms, a figure. The tailor-made begins with a dialogue and ends with a piece that bears your mark, engraved by hand in the Verviers workshop.
THE SPIRIT OF TALO-MEARISE
"You arrive with an intuition, a story or a specific project. I bring creative reading, aesthetic language and technical mastery. The piece is born from this meeting. ”
Roland Baptiste
HOW'S IT GOING?
From the first intention to the delivered piece
Four steps, designed so that you know at all times where we are and what is expected from both sides.
I
FIRST EXCHANGE · FREE
Understanding the project
Written exchange, telephone, videoconference, or meeting at the Verviers workshop. We discuss the idea, the symbol you want to wear, the aesthetic universe and any technical constraints.
II
DESIGN PHASE · PAID, NOT RECOVERABLE
The project is taking shape
Detailed drawings, iconographic research, exchanges, adjustments, feasibility study. This phase pays for the real creative work of the workshop – whatever the project becomes next, this time has been given.
III
VALIDATION · FIRM ORDER
Engage the creation
Once the project has been definitively validated – reasons, finish, materials, deadline – the order is confirmed. A significant and non-recoverable deposit is paid: these are unique pieces, designed for you alone, difficult to reorient.
IV
ENGRAVING AND ASSEMBLY
The play is born
Manual engraving, setting or inlaying if provided, decoration of the elements, final assembly, controls. You regularly receive news of progress. Upon delivery, the part is handed over by hand or shipped with all the guarantees of use.
INDICATIVE DEADLINE
≈ 3 months
Provided that all necessary parts are available at the workshop at the time of launch.
PRICE
Defined in the dialogue
Each project is unique. The price is set after the design phase, depending on the complexity, materials and inlays.
REFUS
No a priori
As long as the project is technically feasible, it has its place in the workshop.
FIRST EXCHANGE
Discuss a project
The first exchange does not commit you to anything. Describe the intention in a few lines, or simply ask to speak with Roland.
