Emmanuel Alder
President
Affiliated since more 2007-2008 to the network of independent journalists and experts of the press agency TàG Press +41, Emmanuel Alder writes until 2014 for the Swiss watch magazines JSH – Journal Suisse d’Horlogerie, Heure Suisse and Heure Schweiz and until 2018 as a contributor of the media Watchonista.
He invented the character of Barnabé Hossien, a philistine who, through his popularizing approach, asks original questions, raises questions that ultra professionals no longer think to answer as they seem to be givens. Fascinated by mechanical things from the beginning, whether inside or outside a watch case or a piece of jewelry, Emmanuel Alder was hooked on watchmaking very early on. His goal is to « transform magic into knowledge » in the form of writing dedicated to sharing knowledge.
