With his famous, inimitable shock of salt and pepper curls, he never goes unnoticed at horology fairs There, he hands out his business card and drags around a wheelie laden with his most impressive books, which will inexorably open the doors to the workshops of independent watchmakers and the caverns of luxury jewelers. His bibliography – a veritable reference today – covers various subjects and is sprinkled with sublime titles such as Reflet d’Eternité, from 2005, or Le Temps Poétique for Van Cleef & Arpels in 2009, La Beauté en Voyage for Hermès in 2002, and Capture de l’Eclat for Boucheron in 2004.
He has collaborated with leading manufactures, such as A. Lange & Söhne and Audemars Piguet – for which he published a book about watch finishing. He also worked with Richard Mille, a fan of de Peslouan's fresh approach. He then went on seamlessly to work with independent watchmakers such as R. W. Smith, Kari Voutilainen or Peter Speake-Marin.
Other increasingly popular brands are drawing on his talents like de Bethune. And, to top it all off, he has just signed on for a second collaboration with Boucheron.
