Collection: NOVA-H01
The Nova H-01 watch perfectly embodies the fusion of art and functionality. Inspired by "Sportster" watches, renowned for their durability in adventurous environments, it features a sophisticated guilloché dial that captures light in a truly unique way. Its design elegantly blends the classic codes of watchmaking with contemporary aesthetics, creating a distinctive retro-futuristic identity. The luminous markers, inspired by the geometry of the original particle accelerator, pay subtle homage to Marius' legacy.

The NOVA collection: an unexpected journey
The birth of a star
In the bustling 1920s, Marius Servettaz, a brilliant scientist, pursued a daring quest: to unravel the mysteries of time through an experimental particle accelerator.
This obsession with time led him to an extraordinary discovery that would mark history. Marius and his team managed to create a miniature star, a contained stellar explosion that emitted a light of fascinating purity. This discovery, named Nova, captivated the entire world.
Marius had a visionary idea: to create a timepiece that would symbolize this extraordinary discovery. While pocket watches dominated the era, he imagined a wristwatch, so as to never let go of the controls of the collider.
Thus was born the first Nova watch, tangible testimony to their scientific revolution.
The incident
That morning, an electrical tension hung in the air of the laboratory. Instruments displayed unusual readings, as if time itself were becoming unstable around the accelerator. The Nova watch on Marius' wrist seemed to resonate with the ambient energies.
The experiment began normally, but soon, unexplained energy fluctuations appeared. Particles were shooting at dizzying speeds. Everything seemed to follow protocol until the first sparks flew from the control consoles.
Marius rushed to the control panel, trying to understand. Before he could react, an explosion of pure light enveloped him. A strange sensation passed through him, as if every atom in his body was being pulled in a different direction.
Then, black.
A new world
When Marius opened his eyes again, Lake Geneva lay before him, familiar but mysteriously transformed.
The usually dark waters, populated by strange creatures, seemed peaceful and sparkling under the sun's rays. The surrounding mountains, which usually stood like austere guardians with menacing silhouettes, now seemed to watch over them benevolently, giving the whole place a heavenly atmosphere.
Standing up slowly, Marius tried to understand this metamorphosis. His methodical mind searched for landmarks in this setting that had become almost unreal. He touched his Nova watch, the only tangible link with his world: the hands continued their course, imperturbable. However, his other instruments displayed incomprehensible measurements, as if time itself had lost all consistency.
A new chapter was opening...
