Specificities - 47ZERO

OUR STRENGTH

We are located in the majestic French Alps, just 30 minutes from the heart of Swiss watchmaking in Geneva. The exclusive use of quality Swiss movements was a natural choice for us. Our training as watch makers gives us an in-depth understanding of the subject, thus informing our aesthetic choices.

THE CASE

Our cases, classic and timeless, serve to perfectly highlight the unique character of our designs. They are meticulously crafted from 316L grade stainless steel, with a highly polished bezel and sides with contrasting brushed finish to the faces of the lugs, providing visual balance. Their slightly curved profile, with a remarkable thinness of only 11 mm, allows easy wearing under a sleeve.

THE DIAL

Our dials are the soul of our watches, carrying the stories that inspired our creations. Each one is hand finished, meaning no two watches are the same. Our production process is a multi-step process: manual colouring, CNC engraving, laser marking, manual polishing and hand finishing. We pride ourselves on our low volume production and the fact that the human touch is in evidence on each piece. Our commitment is to keep innovating using various materials and methods, whether brass, aluminum, steel, or others. The iconic brass dial screws that secure the dial to the mechanical movement feature hand-polished finishes. Normally hidden on the back of the dial, they proudly link the mechanical and aesthetic worlds of watchmaking and design.

THE MOVEMENT

Situated within a short distance from Geneva, it was a clear decision for us to use a high-quality Swiss movement. The automatic mechanical movements in our watches are powered by the regular movements of your wrist. Our transparent casebacks display the decorative finishes of the moving pieces, providing a distinctive visual experience.

THE BRACELET

We have collaborated with a French family-run company, with several generations of experience, to offer you a range of durable tanned leather straps produced especially for 47ZERO. Their design features a significant taper between the watch and the buckle, which enhances the classical style of our watches. We also offer stainless steel bracelets in a variety of styles.

DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY IN FRANCE

Situated in the heart of the majestic French Alps, in Annecy, with its azure blue lake and breathtaking mountains as a backdrop, we are constantly inspired by our surroundings. Each season is like a living postcard. This idyllic location couldn't be more conducive to creativity. We are proud to design and assemble our watches in France, and we are committed to integrating even more French materials into our supply chain, reinforcing our ethos towards authenticity and quality.

The story of 47ZERO is that of a new beginning, born from the desire to transform adversity into creativity. It is the story of a rebirth after an event that changed the life of Cormac Hanley, the founder of the brand.
