FOB PARIS IS COMMITTED

For sustainability, creativity and the extraordinary,
Against disposability and uniformity,
For the preservation of craftsmanship

All production, through the resources it consumes and the waste it generates, has an environmental cost. Therefore, wherever possible, disposable and obsolete items must give way to sustainable and repairable ones. At FOB PARIS, we believe that craftsmanship is one of the ways to achieve this. Thanks to their expertise and the time they devote to manufacturing, artisans guarantee the quality of their products. Because they master every stage of the manufacturing process, they ensure that their products can be repaired in the future. Because it places people at the heart of the manufacturing process, we consider watchmaking in particular, and craftsmanship in general, to be a powerful vehicle for creativity. The artisan's expertise is valuable in that it allows them to give shape to their creativity, to bring the extraordinary to life and to invent the world of tomorrow.

At a time when we need to rethink our production methods and challenge our preconceptions, craftsmanship skills are more valuable than ever. Despite this observation, UNESCO believes that globalisation and the advent of mass production pose ‘a threat to the survival of traditional forms of craftsmanship’. Convinced of their importance and fascinated by the skills of the artisans around us, we want to do our part to preserve and promote them.

▪ Because we are confident in the work of our craftsmen and wish to promote their expertise, we offer a lifetime guarantee on all our watches, covered by our watchmakers.
▪ Because we want to highlight creativity and craftsmanship, we have created the Arts et Métiers collection, featuring exceptional watches produced in limited editions.
▪ Because we want to promote the expertise of our watchmakers, we put their artistry at the service of other creative minds to design unique timepieces for the Time Capsules collection.
