Made to be worn, built to be kept
Horological Atelier founder Ednah is developing watches that combine decorative design with established Swiss movements and practical features. Ahead of London Watch Week City Edition, she also describes TimeVault, a digital service intended to preserve watches’ ownership and service records, arguing that clear provenance can help owners make better-informed sales.
The British-designed BOVARO Lunoire comes in 32mm and 40mm sizes, with a Swiss quartz movement displaying the day, date, month and moon phase; an automatic version is planned after the current series sells through. The CLÉVIOR range includes a 35mm automatic dress watch and a 40mm chronograph using an ETA base movement and a Dubois Dépraz module, with 200 metres of water resistance. CLÉVIOR is available for pre-order, while TimeVault manages documentation rather than buying or holding watches.
In short
- Ednah is building practical watches with Swiss movements.
- An automatic Lunoire is planned after the current run.
- TimeVault aims to keep watch records ready for future sales.
Explained simply
Horological Atelier is a watch business founded by Ednah, whose designs pair decorative details with movements made by established Swiss manufacturers. Swiss movements power watches from many brands, while features such as water resistance affect how a watch can be used day to day.
The BOVARO Lunoire is offered in two sizes and uses a quartz movement, which is powered by a battery. CLÉVIOR includes automatic models, which draw power from the wearer’s movement, and a chronograph with added timing functions. The ranges show different approaches to combining appearance, mechanics and practical use.
TimeVault is a digital service for keeping a watch’s ownership and service records; it does not buy or store the watches themselves. Such records can help owners understand a watch’s history when maintaining it or considering a sale, and the subject is in focus ahead of London Watch Week City Edition.
