ZRC 1904

Few people know it but ZRC is an old brand! Born in 1904 but known especially since 1964 to be the official French Navy supplier. ZRC can be proud of its different patents such as the ECS (Easy Cleaning System) to get rid of the sea salt coming between bezel and case, or the CPS (Crown Protecting System) to insure a perfect sealing before diving. ZRC is a small brand but very well known and appreciated by the dive watch aficionados! Here we also love it!

MEISTERSINGER

Independent watch brand renowned to be the specialist of single-hand watches.
Founded in 2001 in Münster (Germany), Meistersinger took its inspiration in pocket watches, measurement tools and old church clocks. Meistersinger is not only offering a unique design but reviving an old perception of time which makes it slower and definitiely more relaxing. 

Maybe our favorite brand here for its strong and daring statement! :)

AMIDA

AMIDA Digitrend is a revived Swiss watch brand, originally founded in 1925, known for its bold, retro‑futuristic designs that blend mechanics with unusual display innovation. The centerpiece of its legacy is the Digitrend, introduced in 1976 at Baselworld — a “driver’s watch” featuring a mechanical jumping‐hour movement and a prism‑based display that projects the time vertically from discs located horizontally (known as the LRD, or Light Reflecting Display). 
After waning during the quartz crisis in the late 1970s, the brand was relaunched in the 2020s. The revival keeps the original spirit — striking design, space‑age / automotive cues, and mechanical ingenuity — but with modern refinements: improved case finishes, sapphire prisms, updated movements (automatic calibres with jumping hour modules), and attention to detail in typography and materials.
