Redefining Watchmaking, One "Vandalism with a Smile" at a Time.
The artist behind seconde/seconde/ has carved out a unique place in watchmaking, bringing a sense of rebellion and humor that challenges tradition. Starting his journey in a different field altogether, he eventually found his way back to watches, drawn by a desire to disrupt the status quo of horology. Early on, he began experimenting with vintage pieces, swapping out traditional watch hands for symbols that evoke pop culture and subtle wit, creating designs that blend nostalgia with the unexpected.
For him, each watch is a canvas—a chance to add “vandalism with a smile.” His creations are playful and self-aware, capturing the essence of art without losing respect for the craft. From a modest beginning to collaborations with major names, seconde/seconde/ has stayed true to his vision: bringing a fresh, often mischievous perspective to a world steeped in convention, all while staying grounded in a deep appreciation for heritage and design.

ABOUT Vintage 10th CENTURY
"No. 'Scandinavian design' did not start in the 1950's"
"When AV contacted me I had a lot of preconceptions. I was basically wondering “why those people culturally infused by the Scandinavian Design’s sobriety are contacting a guy like me, who has shown so far in my collabs everything but a stylistic temperance”.
"But as usual, my preconceptions shattered quickly when I understood they were ready to adventure in new territories, just like me. The project was unclear at the beginning but we knew it would not be neither safe minimalism neither provocative maximalism… We knew it would be rooted in Scandinavian heritage while twisted by a distant French perspective."

TIMELESS DESIGN. BUILT TO LAST.
We’re committed to craft vintage-inspired watches with a timeless design, and because we only use the best materials and movements available, they’re built to last a lifetime.
Designed in Copenhagen and delivered to the world.
STEEL & GOLD
We use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Finland, which is commonly used for fine watches and jewelry worldwide. Additionally, our models with gold plating are, of course, made with genuine ISO-certified gold plating, ensuring that the precious metals can withstand the test of time.
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
We only use highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on all our models, combined with an anti-reflective coating for better visibility. Our products are made with Japanese precision. It may be expensive, but it is the key to lifelong quality.
MOVEMENTS (CALIBER)
We carefully select Swiss and Japanese-made quality movements, as they are simply the best in the world. We choose specific calibers from Miyota, Sellita, and TMI that have been real-world tested and proven to be 'workhorses' for optimal durability.
A-GRADE FACTORIES
We use A-grade factories and suppliers for all components, making a difference in all the small but important details. Everything, from the feel of the round steel edges to the quality feel and weight of the bracelets, dial details, quality control, and certified work environment ethic.
