History of BND Watches

Founded in 2021

«My brand can only be understood if you know its history, so let me tell you. My passion for watchmaking began at the age of 18, when I bought my first dive watch, the original model of which dated from 1957. As soon as I put it on my wrist, I imagined myself aboard a boat, sailing the seas to discover the depths of the ocean. Its harmonious proportions, resolutely vintage look and incredible patina both charmed and fascinated me. However, the obsolescence of the materials used as well as the explosion in its monetary value have restricted its use. BND was therefore born with the desire to offer affordable French dive watches, inspired by the past but designed to last. This name is not a coincidence, since it includes the three consonants of my family name. It symbolizes my personal, total and sincere investment from the creation to the marketing of my watches. Convinced that simplicity leads to clarity, I opted for a minimalist design where the essential takes precedence over the superficial. This approach results in the economy of words, the purification of shapes and the restricted use of colors. In a society that values always more, always faster, I prefer to take the time thinking that we can do less but better. Each shape is guided by its function, that of facilitating a clear and intuitive reading of the time, whatever the situation. Aware that my brand only lives thanks to your trust, I hope that it will last for a long time, by favoring passion over reason.»
