Portrait: The Intriguing Soleilhac Harmonie
The piece explores the journey of Samuel Soleilhac, a self-taught watchmaker based in Geneva, who has combined his passion for mechanics and design to create his debut watch, the Harmonie. Inspired by Daniel Roth, Soleilhac incorporated a unique bi-rotor winding system, which presented significant challenges due to space constraints. With a focus on traditional craftsmanship, over 100 hours of hand finishing will be dedicated to each piece. The Harmonie is available as a limited edition of 18 pieces, with deliveries set for 2026, and the creator is eager to refine the design based on feedback from subscribers. Looking ahead, Soleilhac envisions expanding his brand with a small team while maintaining a commitment to innovative mechanical designs.
