The association created in 2019 is non-profit. It is a collective of enthusiasts who are looking into the exceptional career of a character in the shadows and have decided to offer him, posthumously, his hour of glory. The discreet trace left by this master jeweler also allows us to understand the history and the place of jewelry in Geneva from the Reformation until today.

He mastered artistic and technical design and all the most demanding jewellery-making skills. Respected by his peers, he trained a whole generation of jewellers in Geneva, the cradle of jewellery watchmaking from the beginning.
