**MEMENTO VIVERE** – The most living of watches
I designed this watch when I found out I was going to be a father. And of course, it completely changed my perception of time. Suddenly, it wasn’t just about hours, minutes, and seconds anymore—it was about years, decades: life (lives). What if a watch could help us navigate the scale of our life? A watch that grows with us.
This watch is **Memento Vivere**. Like the annual rings of a tree, Memento Vivere marks the years by our side. Its dial traces one more ring each year, up to 50 rings in 50 years. A unique horological complication that calls upon time—not as something that slips away, but as something that leaves a trace.
Your imprint, patiently built on your wrist, year after year, until the watch reaches its completion after half a century. And after that, of course, it continues to tell time.
