Our savoir-faire

100% swiss made

Entirely made in Switzerland and assembled in Geneva, Anatole Baker watches are manufactured without any compromise to profitability by the most recognized specialists of the Swiss watch industry: Movement from the canton of Vaud and rotor decoration from the canton of Geneva. Case, crown, dial, engravings, sapphire crystal and hands from the canton of Geneva. Stones, bezels and setting from the canton of Berne.

At Anatole Baker “Swiss Made” is no mere foil for “assembled in Switzerland”, it does indeed signify that each and every part of our time-keepers is made and assembled within the heart of the country’s clockmaking industry.

Contemporary as well as historical, Anatole Baker offers technical and design innovations that make the 1920 art deco model a rarity in the watchmaking world.

  • A "constellation" power reserve, with the colours of the world in its rarest and most subtle forms... precious stones (diamond, ruby, sapphire and tsavorite).
  • Full metal openwork dial on three levels.
  • The "stirrup" is cut from the mass of the case and serves as a guide for the watch band so that it fits perfectly on all wrists, from the thinnest to the most massive, and guarantees a unique wearing comfort for a rectangular watch.
  • Numbers, typography, engravings and "art deco" motifs.
  • Maximum amplitude minute hand appears to rub the edges of the dial.
  • Rectangular window in sapphire glass on an openworked case back revealing the rotor and its palm tree engravings.
  • Proportions of the case inspired by Euclid's golden mean.

Our watch straps shows

Swiss Made, yes, but not only. If Switzerland is the temple of watchmaking, the world heart of saddlery and leather goods remains France and Paris, the cradle of the "Roaring Twenties". Thus, the collection of watch straps watches proposed is manufactured in the rules of the art in "hand sewn" by a Parisian craftsman labelled EPV Living Heritage Company by the French state.
