Official description
When launching the Biver brand in 2023, father-and-son duo Jean-Claude and Pierre Biver chose to begin their journey with the Carillon Tourbillon Minute Repeater. This highly complex watch combines two masterpiece complications and established a distinctive design language and approach to watchmaking, both central to the brand. It served as a launch pad for Biver’s core ideas and uncompromising attitude. It is an example of what a Biver watch can be at its very best and a prologue for what is yet to come.
Now, Biver writes the next chapter in this story with a return to watchmaking basics. The Biver Automatique is a three- hand, automatic watch meant for daily wear. It combines influences from the past with a distinctly 21st-century look and it establishes a foundation on which future watches and complications can be built. It is a watch that looks simple at first glance and reveals its complexity over time – it rewards the patient and surprises the curious.
“A watch showing just the hours, minutes, and seconds is the most essential form of our art. Distilling complexity down to its purest, simplest incarnation can be its own kind of masterpiece, found in its absolute perfection and discipline,” says co-founder Jean-Claude Biver. “If you want to play the piano, you must first master scales and classical music before you can learn to play jazz.”
