Our story
Between two horizons.
Alexandre discovered sailing in childhood, while Arthur grew up surrounded by his family’s maritime stories. From this heritage was born a universe infused with the spirit of the open sea. In 2018, their paths crossed: Arthur Delattre, from Haute-Savoie, met Alexandre Aynaud, a native of the Lake Geneva region. Their passion for watchmaking led them, in 2021, to sketch the first designs of the Grand Largue model.
Driven by a shared vision, they founded Maison Aynaud in 2024 to offer their own interpretation of contemporary watchmaking.
The Maison's DNA
Maison Aynaud distinguishes itself through its commitment to creating watches deeply rooted in the use of technical alloys, chosen for their lightness, robustness, and functional beauty. Each piece is born from the convergence of material and mastery, of innovation and tradition. This alchemy gives rise to a precise silhouette, dictated by the essential: to offer a clear, immediate, and instinctive reading of time. A blueprint that lays the groundwork for future complications.
THE UNION OF TWO PASSIONS
Paris is the anchor point of Maison Aynaud, where our ideas come to life. It is in this city that we will have the pleasure of meeting enthusiasts and collectors during our first public appearance at the We Love Watches fair, on October 11, 2025.
Assemblage a Besançon
All of our timepieces are assembled in Besançon, a city emblematic of French watchmaking. This craftsmanship is part of an age-old tradition that has made the region famous, renowned for the excellence and precision of its artisans.
Creation
The value of time regained
The dialogue with connoisseurs who share our vision is the cornerstone of our Maison, built on closeness and exchange.
Our creations are made to order, an approach that deliberately distances us from mass production. We devote up to four months to the perfect realization of your timepiece before its delivery.
This wait is a promise: that of dedicating to your watch all the attention it deserves, its value also residing in the time required for its creation.
Contact us
Your watch, our encounter. Our dialogue extends well beyond creation. From our first exchanges, throughout its creation and after its delivery, we are at your side to make this journey a serene and personal experience. Each timepiece we create marks the beginning of a relationship.
