RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY
"The reliability and durability of BRELLUM watches are part of my core values."
Behind these words lies much more than a simple statement — they embody the fundamental principles that guide each of our decisions and actions. This approach is first and foremost based on the careful selection of our partners and suppliers, ensuring that every element of the watch, from its design to its production, meets the highest standards. The materials we choose for manufacturing, such as sapphire and 316L steel (DIN 1.4435), are prized for their exceptional durability and resistance, guaranteeing that each timepiece is crafted to withstand the test of time.
Furthermore, the legendary precision of Valjoux movements, certified chronometers by COSC, and Lajoux-Perret movements, renowned for their exceptional robustness and performance, is a key element in our pursuit of perfection. These movements are recognized for their reliability and accuracy, making them the ideal heart for every BRELLUM watch. But our commitment to quality doesn’t stop there. We apply a rigorous series of quality controls throughout the manufacturing process, during and after production, to ensure that each watch meets the most stringent criteria.
It is this constant pursuit of quality, precision, and durability that makes BRELLUM watches much more than mere timekeeping instruments: they are legacies, designed to endure across generations. Thought not only to accompany their owner over the years but also to be passed down to future generations, each BRELLUM watch embodies true craftsmanship, built on the belief that reliability and durability are essential elements of authentic luxury.
Swiss Made and COSC certification
A mark of quality and respectability, all BRELLUM watches proudly bear the Swiss Made label. This distinction is reserved for brands that meet the strict requirements set by Swiss federal legislation.
In addition to the Swiss Made label, every BRELLUM watch movement also meets the standards of the "Certified Chronometer" (COSC) certification. This prestigious label is reserved exclusively for movements that successfully undergo a demanding series of tests to determine the accuracy and stability of each movement. The validation is carried out by an independent body, the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
Each BRELLUM watch is delivered with its individual chronometer certificate, which records all the test results. Only 6% of Swiss watch production carries the "Chronometer Officially Certified" label on its dial, just like BRELLUM watches.
Swiss Jura, the very cradle of watchmaking
Nestled in the Heart of Swiss Jura: The Birthplace of Watchmaking
Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Jura, in the medieval town of Porrentruy, founded in 1148, the Brellum brand perfectly embodies the harmonious union of traditional watchmaking and cutting-edge technologies. This region, a symbol of centuries-old expertise, is the fertile ground where the art of horology has flourished over the years. At Brellum, we take great pride in honoring this heritage while integrating modern manufacturing technologies, creating timepieces that offer a truly unique and unforgettable experience in the world of luxury watchmaking.
For generations, the Swiss Jura has been a region where watchmaking is not merely a profession, but a true calling. Over the centuries, this area has seen thousands of watchmakers perfecting their craft, artisans passionate and dedicated to creating watches of unparalleled precision. Today, more than 9,000 watchmakers are recorded by the Fondation Horlogère, and these numbers stand as a testament to a living tradition that has shaped the identity of the region. Deep within these mountains, hundreds of watch brands have emerged, each artisan or brand contributing to the global watchmaking heritage.
The Jura region is truly a sanctuary for those who cultivate this exceptional craft, accumulating a unique expertise over the generations. This valuable heritage has been passed down from master to apprentice, with every movement, every detail, every finish being a testament to the perfectionism and meticulousness that define this industry. It is with profound respect for this history that Brellum continues this tradition, adapting it to contemporary demands and using the most advanced technologies to create exceptional timepieces.
Until the end of the 19th century, the watchmakers of the Jura regularly traveled by train to Geneva, Zurich, and other major Swiss cities to meet their clients and present their creations. These trips provided opportunities for exchange, to sell their watches, and also to introduce the world to the quality of their craftsmanship. Over time, however, these direct contacts faded, replaced by more modern commercial methods. Yet, the spirit of exchange and proximity remains at the heart of the Brellum DNA, which continues to pass on exceptional expertise while staying true to the values that have made Swiss watchmaking renowned worldwide.
Through Brellum, the watchmaking tradition of the Jura continues to evolve, blending the elegance of the past with the innovation of the present to offer luxury watches that symbolize the excellence of Swiss watchmaking in all its glory.
