Nicolas Delaloye

Founder and watchmaker Nicolas Delaloye has had an unwavering passion for the art of watchmaking since he entered the Geneva School of Watchmaking in 1987. Fascinated by the precision and creativity demanded by this profession, he quickly acquired the skills essential to his future. After an initial immersion in excellence at Patek Philippe, where he perfected his skills in various workshops – escapements, regulation, chronographs – the call of independence became irresistible.

In 2000, he founded his own brand and created his first Garde-Temps, marking the beginning of the Delaloye Genève adventure. Eager to deepen his knowledge, he then spent eight enriching years at the Patek Philippe Museum, immersing himself in the watchmaking heritage while refining his vision of craftsmanship and precision.

But the desire to create remains strong. In 2024, armed with renewed ambition and decades of experience, he relaunched his brand with fresh energy. His comeback is embodied by an exclusive collection – Renaissance, limited to 24 pieces – which symbolizes his return to the craft he loves. After years of preparation, rebuilding his workshop and perfecting his ND01s caliber, Nicolas Delaloye continues his quest for excellence. Over the years, his passion for creating exceptional timepieces at the bench has remained as strong as ever.
