Cyril - Urban Adventurer - GENEVA I grew up with these values. They are part of me. Harking back to tradition and looking to the future, my team and I draw from the arts, literature, haute couture, the sciences and sociology to fuel our search for new designs.
HERITAGE I loved spending hours watching the meticulous actions of the watchmakers in the family workshop. When the first part of a new model had just been finished their faces lit up with joy and pride. That’s my earliest memory as a child.
FAMILY TRADITION AND A MODERN APPROACH The culture of enterprise is embedded in the genes of our company. It can be seen everywhere in the innovative choices of components and materials. We have always been proud of Swiss expertise and watchmaking techniques, handed down from generation to generation.
In addition, the close co-operation and exchanges of ideas between the master watchmakers who make Cyril Ratel timepieces and their peers guarantee that manufacture is always at the cutting edge of technology.
My life is governed by trips abroad. Dubai, Moscow, Miami, New York, Hong Kong and many others. I find inspiration in my urban adventures. In a lounge in Miami, looking at a Jackson Pollock painting at MOMA in New York, reading Bret Easton Ellis in the shade of the palm trees on Marina Beach, Dubai or driving a 911 Carrera 4S in the misty streets of Geneva. I love wandering around towns, imbibing their atmosphere, exchanging looks with people, brushing up against the silhouettes of buildings. I love meeting people who are the heartbeat of stunning cities like Hong Kong, electric and arrogant like Dubai, indescribable like New York, gentle and refined like Prague or Vienna.
You will find my emotions in the aesthetic search for each calibre, dial or bracelet. Cyril Ratel creations are an invitation to live and share the charm of my urban adventures and my passion for exceptional watches.
I want the watches that we create for you to be synonymous with charm and relaxation. They are ambassadors of your refined tastes and your elegance. They are exclusive and they uplift your personality.
It’s so nice to be noticed !
NEW DESIGN
For my new Urban adventures collection I wanted a luminous, architectural design, the fruit of the fusion of materials (rubber, steel, ceramic, leather) and atmospheres, the atmospheres of places that we urban adventurers love to hang around in. You can almost touch the force emitted from the watches’ geometric, mechanical, masculine shapes. The same force that is emitted from the atmosphere of a town, a fantastic private party, a race on the F430 between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The lines in turn conjure up avantgarde buildings, the most prestigious F1 chassis or the fuselage of a jet. The masculine models, some of which are set with diamonds, offer combinations where elegance competes with audacity. A lively blend of tangy colours or precious stones for the dials, bracelets and crowns of ladies’ watches.
