Hazemann & Monnin was named the winner of the second edition of the prestigious Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives.

The award, which celebrates daring, innovation and exceptional savoir-faire in watchmaking, was formally presented by the previous laureate, Raúl Pagès, in an unforgettable moment of transmission. Launched in 2022, the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives embodies the Maison’s passion for watchmaking excellence. Organized and supported by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the prize supports independent watchmakers, artisans and entrepreneurs as they open bold new horizons in watchmaking.

Chosen from a distinguished group of five internationally-renowned watchmakers – the other four finalists were Daizoh Makihara Watchcraft Japan, Fam Al Hut, Lederer, and Quiet Club – Hazemann & Monnin received the prize during a ceremony at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, attended by an impressive community of timepiece experts and enthusiasts. The evening resonated to the rhythm of watchmaking, celebrating a pivotal new chapter in the history of independent creativity.

“Winning this second edition of the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize represents a profound recognition of what ouar atelier is – and what we want it to become. From the conception of movements to the decoration of every component, this honor affirms an approach we believe in. It also gives us the means to go further: to strengthen an independent house and pass on new ideas about watchmaking to those who will carry it forward tomorrow,” shared Alexandre Hazemann and Victor Monnin ofHazemann & Monnin, Switzerland.
