A propos de Franc Vila

Usually the history of the greatest brands starts with a dream, and FRANC VILA’s is not different. Its history is the one of the passion of a child whose love for High-End Watchmaking started when he saw his stopped father’s automatic watch come to life. Franc Vila got warmed up for High-end Watchmaking when his father told him that the watch only ran when in contact with humans. Thereby he understood that there is a magic relationship between men and watches, and that are we who give them life. At that time he didn’t know where he would be driven by his astonishment. Today, though the child is an adult and his mission is clear, his sight is still the one of that child who, collector of watches and other art objects, dreamed up his ideal watch. But his dream was not fulfilled and after studying Biochemicals, Fine Arts and Philosophy, Franc Vila embarked on the realization of his obsession: to create the watch of his dreams.

Franc Vila creations are an individual and exceptional global approach where all the elements —case, dial, strap, mechanism, rotos, screws, crown and hands— form a unique and indissociable whole in wich modernity, beauty, quality, precision and exclusivity play a balanced role. His watches benefit from the latest technology combined with an exceptional know-how that blends tradition and modernity and are designed for an exclusive clientele who demand a timepiece both contemporary and elegant. FRANC VILA timepieces are a form of art and who wears them has time for leisure pursuits, appreciates life's special moments and needs different and special products, not mass produced watches, but pieces that provide a unique experience to each individual.

FRANC VILA's Timepieces reinvent forms, building into the future while respecting the past, and perpetuate the watchmaking tradition with its collections, which include the most prestigious complications with the characteristic "Esprit Unique" design.
