André Martinez, jeweler, gem-setter and master trainer, was trained at the Ecole d’Art Appliqué de La Chaux-de-Fonds. Very early, he chose to dedicate his skills to high-end watchmaking, a field offering endless creative possibilities. In 1996, driven by his lifelong passion for painting and drawing, he turned to miniature artistic painting on watch dials — a craft he knew intimately. His mastery quickly caught the attention of major watch brands, making this rare expertise the signature of Atelier André Martinez SA.
