ASTRO
Astro
The idea of Astro originates from a school project to obtain my Brevet des Métiers d’Art.
During the Research and Development phase of the project, I imagined linearizing the equation of time, then adding complications. It allowed me to validate my diploma and to take part in the “Young Talent” competition organized by the Watch Academy of Independent Creators (AHCI) and F.P. Journe in 2016. Astro and I won this contest. My linear equation of time clock was revealed during a press conference at the Baselworld event of the 2016 edition. This award as well as the achievement of Astro gave me the motivation to create my own company. Thanks to Astro, TL-Watchmaking was born.

The cabinet is in cherry wood.
The dial is in sandblasted brass in the center, circular brushed on the edge.
The indexes are in polished stainless steel and brass.
