MOMENTIS, an independent watchmaker based in Delémont, unveils its first watch after six years of development.

The MW‑001 is a hand-wound tourbillon with a 102-hour power reserve and a 39 mm titanium case.

It makes its debut as the Founders Edition, limited to nine pieces. Its signature: tiger’s eye set into the crown. The edition was shown privately to a select group of collectors in early November 2026.

Three series of eleven pieces will follow from 2027. A GMT is in development.

Story

Six years spent questioning time, trying to understand it, to master it. And accepting, in the end, that it eludes us.

MOMENTIS was born of that contradiction. Of ideas that were a little mad, of nights that were too short, of convictions that were not always reasonable. Of that strange obsession that drives some people to devote years to a few fractions of a second.

It comes from the Swiss Jura. From valleys where people say little, but their hands say a great deal. Where mechanics is a language, and no detail is ever just a detail.

Its first watch has a body of titanium, a heart that beats to the rhythm of a spring, a tourbillon to bring its seconds to life. Yet it was not born of a machine. Dozens of hands, exacting eyes, motions repeated until they became second nature: women and men who gave part of their own time to create something that may outlive them.

Six years to bring it to life. Its story has only just begun.
