Albishorn

Albishorn is an independent Swiss watch brand founded in 2024 by Sébastien Chaulmontet, a product designer, historian of the chronograph, and one of the industry’s most respected innovators. Rather than reproducing historical watches, Albishorn explores an original concept the brand calls Imaginary Vintage®: creating timepieces inspired by watchmaking history that could have existed, but never actually did. Drawing on decades of research into vintage chronographs, Chaulmontet blends period-correct aesthetics with contemporary engineering to produce watches that feel historically authentic while remaining entirely original. Each creation pays tribute to a forgotten chapter of horological history, offering collectors a fresh interpretation of the past through thoughtful design and modern mechanical watchmaking.
