The Brand
beginning of a lineage
In the beginning
The word EMERA came to me one day in a flash.
EMERA is the result of the collaboration and hard work of two watchmaking professionals. Two ultra-passionate individuals – a visionary designer, and a genius watchmaker.
« I wanted to know its meaning. I was astonished when I discovered its meaning – dawn in Greek Antiquity. »
The beginning
A meeting started it all, the desire to build a project around a common and limitless passion which was fine watchmaking.
From a friendship, the EMERA brand was born. The obvious desire was to start a new path off the beaten track. We are explorers in search of new horizons and to elicit ever more intense emotions.
« As a true lover of the world of luxury and brands, I always knew that one day I would offer my unique vision to the world. I wanted something exceptional, something that suited me perfectly. »
Straight from
the future
Concept
EMERA is the synthesis and the result of years of intense work dedicated to a single goal – creating something unique.
The form is the first thing we perceive in any creation; in a fraction of a second it gives us a feeling. EMERA is a brand on a quest for new aesthetic frontiers. Art and creation are the DNA of the brand. Nature, performance, and humanity are the essence of creativity, the foundation of everything.
Our exceptional timepieces are strongly turned towards the future. The extraordinary shape with aerodynamic forms suggest visions of a hyper car.
