ENTER A WORLD MARKED BY MECHANICAL WATCHMAKING
Anchored in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, Initium passionately promotes its heritage while remaining driven by the desire to innovate. A guarantee of expertise, audacity and durability, Initium invites you to reveal your personality by creating your watch.
A unique experience to be enjoyed in our workshops in Switzerland or through our watch kit which offers the possibility to assemble your timepiece directly at home.
We share this desire to allow everyone to slip into a watchmaker’s coat for a day, thus becoming artists of the time and understanding the mechanisms of what we are running after.

The team
A passion that is shared
In order to pursue our expansion goal, we launched our crowdinvesting campaign in early 2021. Thus, everyone is now able to join this adventure and become a shareholder of the company.
By investing the amount of your choice, you take part in the evolution of the company by financing its future projects such as the implementation of a workshop to produce its tourbillon watch.
In addition, you join our community platform that opens up a world of privileges and exclusive experiences around Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
We think big and your support is precious to us to accomplish our ambitious projects.
