FOB PARIS is a modern watchmaking brand. Each watch, crafted in France, is a distinct piece of jewelry. It represents the meeting of avant-garde design with watchmaking exploration. Featuring cases made from precious metals, skeleton movements, patinated dials, and a variety of cuffs and bracelets.

At FOB PARIS, expertise supports a creative vision. This encompasses everything from designing models to creating a visual universe, selecting partnerships, and imagining retail locations.

In the workshop, creators experiment with and develop new techniques, including modeling, prototyping, surface treatment, finishing, and assembly. These processes take place between Besançon and the Marais district in central Paris.

Skeleton automatic movements are crafted in Switzerland and Japan, and adjusted in Paris.

FOB Paris is a contemporary watch brand founded by three engineer friends, all passionate about art and creation.

Trained in the most prestigious French engineering schools, Aurélien, Laurent, and Sari learned mechanics and engineering sciences. They then discovered 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 appeared very soon after they graduated. They trained in design, watchmaking and jewellery, and imagined their first timepiece, a radically modern pocket watch, in 2012.

Their work broke away from the traditional watch industry and was quickly noticed by prestigious craftsmen and designers, who they had the chance to collaborate with, to continue their training and expand their watchmaking explorations.
