Léon Hatot watches and jewellery represent contemporary interpretations of values that emerged in the 1930s, interpretations that reveal the greatest respect for technology and design. Anchored in a rich artistic heritage of more than 5,000 sketches and drawings along with decades of experience, Léon Hatot's designs preserve the values of a modern age and the artist's lifelong effort to intensify the sense of feminine beauty.
Léon Hatot. Strength and nobility of materials united with the elegance of precious stones selected in a range of colours and rare materials exclusively for these works of art.
The contemporary collections of Léon Hatot represent the finest of Swiss traditions, the precision and professional skills that transform our craftsmen into masters of the arts of jewellery.
It is the beauty of the gesture that moves us, the master craftsman's hand at work as matter is transformed into art. Léon Hatot's works are jewels representing and reflecting traditional skills and savoir-faire gathered and carefully preserved over the course of time. In each work, the soul of its impassioned creator takes wing, borne aloft in the moment the eye alights on the beauty embodied within.
Master of all types of setting, Léon Hatot privileges setting by hand. To date, all work in the luxury jewellery line features bezel, pavé or invisible settings. The ornaments are also made by hand, each jewel a unique creation. The requisite savoir-faire is a heritage from the age of the master craftsman, whose creations succeeded in rendering women more beautiful and individual, making it possible ... "Etre femme".
Unusual creations, closely linked to the art of jewellery in the wild young years of the 20th century, the diamond remains the star, placing geometry, sculptural relief and sobriety in perfect harmony with onyx, coral and precious stones. A subtle mix of movement and colour.
The preciousness of these time-pieces is due in part to the practical art and concentration necessary to create each one. Enormous discipline, impeccable execution in every gesture, long years of experience: all bear witness to the quality of the final work and the swiss made label. Carefully arranged around the master craftsman as he works are the essential tools, the indispensable instruments that extend the precise and indivisible gesture of the man. The eye and the hand are called on together so that each time the unique gesture expresses the ideal. Humility and patience, concentration and focus are the key characteristics of a strong and unique union, at one with the material.
Léon Hatot, a leading thinker and practitioner of the "Arts Décoratifs" whose creations evoke the magic and sublimation of matter and signal the transformation of the man's lifetime of work into an enduring work of art. In light of our enormous respect for this artistic heritage, Léon Hatot SA have chosen to limit production and secure our capacity to satisfy a demanding and exclusive clientele.
The Léon Hatot jewellery and luxury jewellery lines are presented in 5 collections (Zelia, Luela, Aimay, Kimay, Mae) and in exclusive luxury pieces, works of art in which the strength and nobility of the materials employed are united with the elegance of carefully selected precious stones, subtle colours and a range of rare materials.
