Atelier von Feuerbach

The Story of Christiane

Christiane von Feuerbach was never meant to run a brand — she was meant to continue a legacy. Born into a world where time was measured not in minutes, but in moments, she grew up among the scent of oil, brass, and ticking escapements. Her father taught her that true precision begins with patience, and that a kind heart is the finest tool a craftsman can own.


After his passing in 2020, Christiane chose not to build an empire, but to protect a philosophy — that beauty and honesty should always coexist. For five quiet years she worked behind closed doors, serving her father’s old clients, repairing watches by hand, writing letters of gratitude, and signing each certificate herself. Only in 2025 did she decide to open her world to others, creating Atelier von Feuerbach — not as a company, but as a family of artisans united by kindness and devotion.


Christiane divides her time between Monaco and Milan, two cities that reflect her dual nature — grace and discipline. She personally knows every craftsman in her ateliers, and they, in turn, speak of her not as a director, but as “Madame Christiane,” a mentor who listens more than she speaks, and who still insists on examining every finished watch herself.


Under her guidance, Atelier von Feuerbach has become more than a house of restoration — it has become a quiet rebellion against indifference. Every watch that leaves her hands carries not only her father’s spirit, but also her own belief that luxury should never lose its humanity.


To meet Christiane is to understand that refinement and compassion can share the same heartbeat. And to wear a watch restored under her name — is to feel both.

Established - 1980

The story of Atelier von Feuerbach began in 1980, when a gentle and devoted watchmaker — the father of Christiane von Feuerbach — opened a handful of small repair workshops across Europe. There were no boutiques, no marketing, and not even a website. Only modest rooms filled with tools, warmth, and the quiet sound of ticking time. He never sold watches — he simply repaired them, one by one, returning to people not their possessions, but their memories.

For forty years, he worked in silence — known not by brand, but by reputation. Those who met him remembered not only his craftsmanship, but his kindness — a man who believed that every timepiece, like every person, deserved a second chance.

When he passed away in 2020, his daughter Christiane inherited the network of small family workshops and continued to serve his loyal clients, preserving his values and working quietly under the same philosophy: repair with honesty, restore with heart.

In 2025, Christiane gave her father’s legacy a new form — Atelier von Feuerbach. What was once a small chain of local repair studios became a global atelier dedicated to restoring, reimagining, and reviving fine timepieces. Not for display cases or auctions, but to be worn, cherished, and lived with once more.

Today, Atelier von Feuerbach remains faithful to its origins — a celebration of human touch, imperfection, and authenticity. It stands for the belief that true elegance belongs to everyone: the collector, the craftsman, the dreamer, or the teacher who simply loves the poetry of time.

Because in every watch reborn, there beats not just a movement — but a story.



From the quiet workbenches of Christiane’s father to the ateliers of today, Atelier von Feuerbach has grown — not in noise, but in purpose. What began as a handful of small repair workshops has become an international house of horological artistry, uniting five divisions across five countries.
Each division carries the same spirit that started it all - precision born of patience, craftsmanship guided by compassion, and the belief that a watch is not merely restored, but reborn.
From Germany’s utilitarian heritage to Belgium’s experimental innovations, from Switzerland’s reverent restorations to France’s haute horlogerie and the United States’ bespoke creations - every workshop beats with the same heart.
Together they form a family bound by time, legacy, and love - the living testament to one man’s kindness and his daughter’s enduring devotion.

Core Value

TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every watch reborn within our ateliers is restored by hand - bridge by bridge, gear by gear. We preserve the soul of its origin while infusing the precision of modern horology. It is not repair - it is resurrection, guided by patience, mastery, and respect for time itself.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY

Our artisans work only with the finest materials and traditional techniques passed down through generations. Each movement is inspected under magnification, each surface polished with care - until nothing remains but excellence. We do not chase perfection; we honor it.

MEANINGFUL CREATION

A timepiece from Atelier von Feuerbach is never just an object - it is a companion of memory. Restored not for display, but to be worn, to be shared, and to live once again. Every watch carries a story - of the hands that built it, and the heart that now keeps it.

HERITAGE OF TRUST

Our atelier remains a family - from our master watchmakers to those who wear our creations. We believe that every client deserves the same devotion, whether collector or dreamer. To own a Feuerbach timepiece is to be part of a quiet legacy - built on trust, kindness, and time itself.
