Elevating watchmaking into a rich cultural language, AWAKE’s Métiers d'Art timepieces invite a slower, more deliberate appreciation of time through a dedication to fine materials and physical craftsmanship. Their groundbreaking Son Mài - Guilloché Main collection marks a horological first by merging two rare, demanding artisanal traditions from different corners of the world.
