Vivacious and epicurean, passionate and hedonist, Philippe Charriol’s approach to life has informed the creation of his eponymous watch brand. With a deep appreciation of all that life has to offer, Philippe’s cultural and sporting passions lie at the source of Charriol collections, so that each watch or jewellery item is crafted with artistry and infused with meaning. This ethos is summed up in the Maison’s motto, The Art of Living Differently. Charriol is also proud of its family heritage: Philippe works alongside all family members, another ‘difference’ that distinguishes this global luxury brand.

Charriol timepieces are true Swiss Made watches and are all hand-assembled in the brand’s watchmaking atelier in Geneva, the birthplace of horology. Each timepiece is characterised by its qualities of precision, quality, luxury and authenticity, and after small beginnings, Charriol is now a global luxury brand whose products are appreciated and recognised the world over. Charriol also stands out through its design: often fusing the ancient and the modern world. Watches and jewellery draw on the worlds of art and sport, an adventurer attitude or a romantic spirit.

Early on in the creation of his brand, Philippe Charriol was inspired by a visit to the British Museum, where he had been enthralled by the Snetisham Torque, a superb example of early Iron Age Celtic metalwork. Wanting to pay homage to this great legacy, over the years, Charriol developed its own interpretation of this ancient design. The motif was reworked via new technologies and materials; today, Charriol’s ‘twisted cable’ design is now globally patented and recognised as a brand hallmark.

L’Art de Vivre la Difference - The Art of Living Differently. Affirming a lifestyle. Being true to one’s desires. Enjoying all that life has to offer. Appreciating the finer things in life…. wearing Charriol.
