Presentation of Depancel

In the traditional watch industry, the observation has been the same for years: brands that are often elitist and not very transparent, which put products on the market that do not reflect the expectations of enthusiasts. Conversely, when people are looking for an affordable watch, the quality is often not there. Our aim with Depancel is to create a community brand in which you are at the heart of the project: you tell us what you want, and then we work to offer you the watch you want at the best possible price-quality ratio!

History of Depancel

Founded in 2018

Originally, Clément created Depancel with the desire to combine his two passions, watchmaking and automobiles. Fascinated by the beauty of a watch mechanism and curious to understand how it works, he decided to learn the watchmaking trade while working as an engineer in a research laboratory in Geneva. In 2018, he launched his first collection of watches, inspired by the world of beautiful mechanics. A contraction of Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega, Depancel make hers the codes of iconic automobiles to create watches with a sporty DNA. With a logo inspired by the 1954 Facel Vega coat of arms, dials that look like dashboards, and leather straps reminiscent of the construction of drivers' gloves, each collection reflects a passion for mechanics, both watchmaking and automotive.
