Watch Connaisseur Project

Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Watch Connaisseur Project is more than a watch design office. We are an engine for creating, resurrecting, and weaponizing brands that don’t fit the rules of Swiss watchmaking. From industrial heritage (National Watch, founded 1904) to avant-garde collaborations, WCP builds companies like others build watches: precise, uncompromising, and designed to spin off. Each brand is its own world—EI8HT, UNIC, Blackstage, Unique Piece—supported by a fully verticalized production hub and movement design office. We don’t just make calibers. We turn ideas into independent watch brands, ready for the stage or the shadows. Patent to prototype, movement to full watch, investor structuring to global launch—WCP controls the chain, but breaks the mold. WCP is not a supplier. It’s a launchpad.
