Welcome to another Time to Watches podcast, where each recording highlights the people who make the world of watchmaking so fascinating.

Recorded at Time to Watches in Geneva, Alon Ben Joseph & Rob Nudds welcome Sébastien Chaulmontet, founder of ALBISHORN, for an in-depth conversation about creativity, history and independent watchmaking.

During the discussion, Sébastien explains the philosophy behind ALBISHORN, a young brand built around the idea of exploring alternative chapters of watchmaking history. Rather than reproducing existing models, ALBISHORN draws inspiration from different eras to imagine watches that could have existed, blending historical references with a contemporary mindset.

The exchange also touches on the freedom that comes with building a brand without archives, the importance of design coherence, and the role of chronographs as a creative playground. Sébastien shares his vision of watchmaking as both a serious craft and a space for curiosity, experimentation and enjoyment.

A thoughtful and engaging conversation about history, creativity and the balance between heritage and innovation in modern independent watchmaking.
