Le Cercle des Horlogers Atelier (CHSA), founded in 2012 by movement specialists Nicolas Herren and Alain Schiesser, is a behind-the-scenes partner for upmarket independents ranging from Speake Marin and Biver to Jacob & Co. and Trilobe.
It specialises in made-to-order complex movements including minute repeaters and double tourbillons that can be decorated using the full spectrum of Swiss finishing techniques.
As the independent watchmaking sector has boomed, CHSA has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Laurent Pin as its new chief executive.
Mr Pin is an experienced business consultant and operations specialist with experience in the haute horlogerie field and a profound respect for the heritage of Swiss watchmaking, a post by Speake-Marin says.
Mr Pin’s mission is to steer Le Cercle des Horlogers into an era marked by technical excellence, sustainable practices, and cutting-edge advancements.
