BIVER & MATERIAL GOOD
After fifty years of redefining watchmaking at its highest echelons, Jean-Claude Biver, a true pioneer of the craft, has embarked on a new and magnificent journey alongside his son, Pierre Biver. In 2023, this dynamic father-son duo launched Biver, a visionary watch brand that melds their legacy with a bold new perspective. Biver is not just a brand; it is a testament to their shared passion and relentless pursuit of excellence. With a legacy steeped in pushing boundaries, Jean-Claude now passes his extraordinary vision to Pierre, as they forge a new chapter in haute horlogerie. Together, they are crafting timepieces that push the limits of artistry and innovation, creating exceptional creations destined to shape the future of Swiss watchmaking. Material Good is honored to be the exclusive distributor for Biver in the USA, standing as a proud partner in this groundbreaking venture and the future of Biver's exceptional craftsmanship.
Central to this approach is the attention given to every detail and the decoration of every component, emphasizing the watches’ handmade nature and artistic character. Stylistically, Biver watches are neoclassical, taking the best of Swiss watchmaking tradition and reimagining it for the 21st century. Utilizing precious and semi-precious materials while incorporating complex complications requiring endless hours of work by watchmakers and decorators, each Biver watch is crafted with meticulous care. With only a handful of timepieces produced every year, each example has extremely limited quantities due to the time-intensive process, making it a truly rare and special find for those fortunate enough to acquire one.
"It is the very essence of time that we strive to capture and embody in our creations."
Introducing Biver's latest masterpiece: The Automatique. This extraordinary timepiece is set to become the cornerstone of their collection, serving as a canvas for their creative vision and a testament to the future in watchmaking. At a perfectly balanced 39mm with a sleek 10mm thickness, the Automatique exemplifies modern purity and elegance. Building on the legacy of the Carillon Tourbillon—a pioneering creation featuring a mesmerizing tourbillon, intricate minute repeater, and innovative micro-rotor—The Automatique marks a bold evolution. It embodies Biver's commitment to blending artistry with precision, redefining the essence of sophistication. Unveiling this groundbreaking watch, we invite you to experience the future of Biver, where each timepiece is a dynamic expression of passion and vision, setting new standards in haute horlogerie
