Founder
CurrentFounded in Ghent, Belgium, Méraud Watch Company is a passion project through and through. As a watch enthusiast, I feel that I’m well versed in the nuances of vintage watches and I know what collectors like myself look for in heritage timepieces.After collecting watches for over 10 years it was time to fulfill a dream. Launching my own watch brand. I want to set myself apart by creating timepieces, using my passion as fuel for my work, which is the most natural and efficient way to be creative.While the current vintage market is at an all-time high, some pieces have become impossible to obtain to many collectors. Other than that, vintage watches have become collectable but they can also be vulnerable. This is where modern pieces excel, their movement, case, bracelet, everything has been engineerd by a higher level. Méraud is my passion project where vintage and new come together.We step in to fill the void of high quality, yet affordable, vintage-inspired watches built to modern standards. And because a passionate watch devotee is at the helm of the company, no detail was spared in the research, design, construction, and packaging of Méraud watches.Méraud thrives on the philosophy that there is inherent beauty in simplicity and functionality.Through my passion and clear vision I was responsible for the corporate identity, watch design, putting together a team of manufacturers and putting my brand on the market. At the launch of Méraud on Kickstarter I had met my goal within two hours, resulting in being the 2nd most succesful Belgian Kickstarter project.
