In the 19th century, the name of "Milleret" was an old family name anchored in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland.
In the old days, a lot of farmers, including a Milleret family, developed small watch-workshops at their home
to occupy the long winter season days. After practice on pocket watches belonging to gentlemen and dealers of
the high society, a few self-taught and ingenious of these autodidacts created single mechanical pieces which
have become invaluable timekeepers now. This know-how has been transmitted through generations and belongs now
to our heritage.
The second and current part of Milleret's story started in London. It was during an auction at the end of the
nineteenth century when a businessman in fine diamonds and jewellery, saw a beautiful silver pocket watch branded
Milleret 1883.
As a fervent watch lover, his wish to develop this name based on an historical source made its way in his mind...
and after a few years of work in the backstage the new Milleret has been introduced with a touch of freshness and
spontaneity. By combining traditional hand-craftsmanship and more than 40 years of experience in fine diamonds
and jewellery business, Milleret successfully entered the universe of luxury and precision watch-making.
From its name and location Milleret has inherited a great know-how and has a huge respect for the Swiss watch-
making values. Making best use of its affiliation to a jewellery group, Milleret matures in its independent
atmosphere balanced between purity of diamonds and refined style.
Milleret timepieces are created with the most contemporary watch-making technologies, making use of the ultimate
tools of our time: the skilled hands of designers, watchmakers and diamonds setters. These men are real artists
expressing their creative potential, originality and passion through every single pieces coming out from their
workshops. Independent and intuitive, Milleret applies itself to perpetuate this art.
Milleret manufactures its products and shapes the various faces of its success making us of its first and main
area of expertise: diamonds, the most solid stones in the world.
Based on the historic skills of its founders in the art of cutting diamonds to turn them into timeless witnesses,
Milleret has always aimed at first quality choice and can therefore create audacious combinations of design and
diamonds.
Diamonds are eternal. And above all, there are "women's best friends" because of their beauty, brilliance and
uniqueness, just like the woman who wears them. The thing that everybody forgets to mention is that diamonds do
for you what neither machines nor technological inventions will ever do : they touch a woman's heart. We offer
you the way to reach it with our Milleret collection.
"Solstice" is the topic of our new visuals.
Etymologically, "solstice" means "the sun stood still". It is this period of time when the sun appears to rise
and set at almost exactly the same place during consecutive days. The solstices are these two opposite and
slightly ambiguous moments of the year … the shortest day, the longest night or the longest day and the shortest
night.
Solstices were and are still celebrated in some communities. They crossed the centuries with intense mysterious
tones, but always tinged with subtlety, delicacy and wordless beauty.
Through our new campaign, we tried to perpetuate this kind of surrealistic hours when reality meets the world of
dreams, when daylight meets the darkness of the night in an atmosphere full of inspiration, emotions, passion and
suggestiveness.
