Arsène Lippens is a Swiss watch brand based in Geneva whose journey began with its founder's grandfather, Arsène Lippens. His timeless values of friendship and heritage inspired the foundation of the brand: he and his best friend exchanged engraved watches, symbolising their bond, and today the house continues that tradition by creating Swiss made watches with personalised engravings, shared identity and community connections. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Dries Lippens together with co-founder and head of marketing Alberto Boccaletti, with chief watchmaker Martial Cuendet assembling the pieces.
The brand describes its work as classic in proportions and modern in expression, made for people who notice details: measured proportions, honest materials and finishing that rewards a closer look. Drawing inspiration from iconic designs such as the front grill of the 1941 Pontiac Streamliner, its watches blend vintage-inspired craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, and its signature double-step bezel runs across the collection. The Classico, Artigiano, Numerico, Visionario and Scheletrato models are produced in small editions by craftsmen in Geneva, and the house also offers textile dials, inviting clients to supply their own textile for a personalised Swiss made dress watch. Beyond crafting watches, Arsène Lippens is dedicated to serving communities, supplying watches to groups and building a sense of belonging among their members.
