Fob paris
FOB Paris is a contemporary watch brand founded by three friends, engineers, passionate about art and creation. They draw their inspiration from the past and from their fascination with the future. Each watch, made in France, is a unique piece of jewelry that embodies their vision of a past projected into the future.
The designers
Trained in the most prestigious French engineering schools, the founders learned mathematics, engineering sciences. They then discover fundamental physics, a fascinating subject where time is a major subject of study. Which became an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Passionate about art, fashion, the idea of giving substance to their inspirations came up very soon after they graduated. They trained in design, watchmaking and jewelery and imagined their first timepiece, a radically modern pocket watch, in 2012. Their work, breaking away from the traditional watch industry, made them quickly noticed by prestigious craftsmen and designers with whom they had the chance to collaborate, and thus to continue their training and their horological explorations.
Manifeste
We see time as a space of freedom. An opportunity to explore. Discover. Time is not a line. Time is a dimension through which we travel. The lines are only mathematical abstractions.
We do not live in the present, neither in the past, nor in the future. The past inspires, nourishes. And the future fascinates. We live at the intersection of the three. Here.
There, everywhere. Every moment.
We believe in watchmaking that not only indicates time, but is a physical representation of it. Jewels that do not belong to any era, but reflect the complexity of time.
The store
Imagined by the brand's three designers, the store is a vessel in time, materializing the signature of FOB PARIS, We are time explorers. A sleek space, made of concrete and steel, it is a physical representation of a non-chronological time. Time as an abstraction that only takes shape in matter.
Minimalist, modern and poetic, the FOB PARIS boutique dares to radically move away from the traditional codes of the watch industry, to highlight craftsmanship and creation.
