Notes

Cedric Johner His passion drives him; his talent and his creativity have taken him right to the top. Cédric Johner, watchmaker and jeweler, founded his own watch brand in 1997 in a small town near Geneva. Since then, the name Cedric Johner has been synonymous with many things: perfect watch design, outstanding technology, craftsmanship and custombuilt timepieces. Simply put: personal luxury taken to the extreme. Johner's Abyss watchcases are highly distinctive: the octagonal shape and unusual sleek design has what it takes to make watchmaking history. Johner offers his customers personalized timepieces. His range comprises a wide selection of variations, with different bracelet and dial designs, a variety of different materials and varying numbers of complications. With so much to choose from, it comes as no surprise that Johner only makes approximately 200 watches a year.
