At the Beyond The Clock exhibition, part of the 2025 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, the Chair of Watch Design will present the work of its Bachelor's and Master's graduates.

The three projects on exhibit are:

MIMU, Bachelor's degree project by Suan You : MIMU is a contemporary reinterpretation of the secret watch, situated between jewellery and design object. Inspired by sliding puzzles and manipulation games (fidget toys), it turns the reading of time into a playful and intimate ritual: shifting modules to reveal the hidden dial. By playing with the codes of secrecy and play, MIMU questions our relationship with time as a sensitive and personal experience, while exploring a universe where watch design, playful objects and poetry converge.

Alvea, Master's degree project by Lisa Dutheil : Alvea is a global communication concept, where watchmaking becomes a vehicle for solidarity and social connection. Through a collection of watches inspired by the daffodil, a powerful symbol of the fight against cancer, Alvea actively supports research by donating a portion of the proceeds from watch sales to the Curie Institute. Beyond the object itself, the project brings together a community around an open forum, promoting exchange, support, and solidarity in the face of the disease. Alvea thus embodies a meaningful approach to watchmaking, where each watch becomes a message of hope and a concrete gesture.

Sensei Watch, Master's degree project by Lucile Beney : "Sensei Watch was born from a fundamental need, to create a tactile and intuitive timepiece designed for people who are visually impaired or blind, an audience too often overlooked by traditional watchmaking. Powered by a Swiss automatic movement and featuring a titanium case that is both lightweight and elegant, it introduces a magnetic braille reading system, developed in collaboration with Christophe Besson, professor at the School of Engineering and Management of the Canton of Vaud. A first in watchmaking, it offers a unique sensory experience where reading time becomes a tangible gesture. More than an object, Sensei Watch embodies an inclusive and committed design, celebrating touch as a vector of equity."
