Unprecedented Concept

Several years of research and development enabled Atelier Jalaper to break through the many technical barriers encountered along the way. We were not only seeking perfection, but we relentlessly worked towards bringing an unique timepiece to the market. Our mission is to create a watch which offers to the owner a fragment of a car legend. This is not just a figure of speech. Every Atelier Jalaper timepiece physically and visibly incorporates an authentic part of an Aston Martin DB5.

A Word from the founders

Our goal for Atelier Jalaper was not only to come up with something new and unique. We wanted to unite the skills, knowledge and passion, involved in the watchmaking and automotive industry, and combine these forces to launch a groundbreaking concept. All while building an engaging community around us and the values of the brand Atelier Jalaper.

Atelier Jalaper’s first quartet of timepieces is something special. Not only do they make a song and dance out of a car that most certainly deserves it, but they make owning a piece of that icon accessible

Nos vaillants compatriotes de 25 et 27 ans ont eu l'idée folle d'acheter un capot d'Aston Martin DB5 (celle de James Bond), et de le découper pour fabriquer le cadran de leur montre.

Pour parvenir à concevoir ces cadrans collectors, les artisans de la Chaux-de-fonds chargés de leur conception ont d’abord dû aplatir le capot du bolide de légende avant de découper 600 cadrans avec la plus grande précision, malgré la malléabilité de l’aluminium.
