OUR STORY
PAUL FORREST
Paul Forrest Hartzband has a long family history in design, watch manufacturing and jewelry. As a second-generation entrepreneur in the business having developed and registered many patents in the field over the course of his career , he combined his knowledge of Swiss mechanics and engineering to create a hidden mechanism tiny enough to animate jewelry for the first time ever.
Paul Forrest having been involved in the watch industry beginning in Montreal , Canada had spent many years exhibiting at what used to be the largest Jewelry and Watch show in the world located in Switzerland named Basel World . Paul always found it interesting that the jewelry and the watch show was literally separated by a walking bridge . After all ,both watches and jewelry are featured at most of the retail jewelers in the world . The concept of combining jewelry with Swiss craftsmanship came about there on that bridge. How cool would it be to somehow combine the two!
We strive for artistic excellence, sophisticated engineering, and timeless refinement “I wanted to bring jewelry to life,” says Paul Forrest, “Give jewelry a soul, to give it a pulse and heart.”
