Founded in 2009 by master watchmaker Martin Braun, Antoine Martin quickly and deservedly developed a reputation among connoisseurs and haute horology worshippers, first with the Slow Runner the world’s slowest beating watch, and more generally with superbly designed and consummately executed complications of the most complex variety. Admirers also love the high class styling of the watches and the unmistakable air of luxury afforded by each piece in the collection, but then with prices at around half a million dollars per timepiece, it’s only natural that collectors will expect nothing but the best from the brand. Bruno Jufer, former CEO of the brand, was appointed Vice President of Eterna Watches in January 2014.
