OUR STORY
We are two enthusiasts brought together by watchmaking.
Sergio learned to read time through architecture — the discipline of forms, the balance of proportions, the belief that a well-designed object should never need to justify itself. Based in Geneva, he spent years translating this sensibility into watches: pieces considered in every detail, where nothing is accidental and everything has intention.
Nico built his relationship with watchmaking differently — by sharing it. Through years of exchanging his passion with a community of enthusiasts, he developed an honest and demanding understanding of what a fine watch should be — what it promises, what it truly delivers, and what it is genuinely worth.
We came together around a simple conviction: Switzerland possesses everything needed to create exceptional watches. The excellence of its manufactures, the rigor of its traditions, the precision of the men and women who work here. It felt only natural for us to be part of it.
SINCE 2024
For two years, we worked quietly. We designed, selected, refined, and sometimes started over entirely. We refused to release something we would not be completely proud of — something we would not genuinely want to wear ourselves.
From this work, APOGEE Genève was born.
Our first collection, Grand Lac, introduces our vision of a contemporary Swiss watch: demanding, coherent, and built to last. A watch designed to accompany everyday life, offering elevated specifications at a fair price. Not through compromise, but through principle.
We believe an exceptional watch should not remain out of reach for those who truly appreciate it.
This project is ours.
Thought, designed and built our way.
And today, its story begins.

TRANSPARENCY IN MANUFACTORING
We believe transparency should be part of modern watchmaking.
The Grand Lac is developed in collaboration with carefully selected partners, chosen for their expertise, precision and consistency within the Swiss watchmaking tradition. Each component is produced according to strict specifications before final assembly, regulation and quality control in Switzerland.
From the machining of Grade 5 titanium to the adjustment of our COSC-certified movements, every stage is approached with the same level of care and attention to detail.
We would rather show you the watch than explain why it's good.
