What was intended to be just a temporary stay became the starting point for a true vocation. A lover of Switzerland and its watchmaking expertise, he discovered a deep passion for gem-setting during his apprenticeship in jewellery.<\/p>\n<p>Having subsequently trained in the Vall\u00e9e de Joux, he developed a rare standard of excellence, fuelled by horological precision, patient craftsmanship and a love of hand-crafted work. Based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, G\u00e9rald Montes has built an international reputation by tackling major technical challenges, notably the setting of precious stones on steel\u2014a feat presented as a world first in the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n<p>In his workshop, each creation is born from a dialogue between the stone, the metal, the craftsman\u2019s hand and the client\u2019s emotion. Unique jewellery, gem-set watches, the restoration of vintage pieces or bespoke creations: every project is approached with the same rigour, the same discretion and the same pursuit of perfection.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6612330b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6612330b\"
