1992
Jean-Claude Biver joined the Swatch Group in the 1990s and took on a variety of responsibilities over the years, most notably at Omega, which he left in 2004 to embark on a new adventure.

The Biver’s house is located not far from the shores of Lake Geneva, in the small Swiss village of Givrins between Geneva and the Vallée de Joux. This three-storey farmhouse, built in the 1890s, hosts the workshops where our master watchmakers and decorators work every day.

We call on the best craftsmen and conceptor to create every element of our creations. Together, our master watchmakers and these “miracle hands” strive to give Biver timepieces a soul.
03
A true veteran of the watchmaking industry, Jean-Claude Biver has never stopped pushing the boundaries throughout his fifty-years career, and is now passing on his passion to his son, Pierre Biver. The father-son duo is opening a new chapter in haute horlogerie, with the ambition of presenting exceptional timepieces. A unique soul carved for eternity.
A watch is only as good as the soul it carries. Our master watchmakers work every day to breathe this soul into the heart of our creations. Objects of precision by nature, Biver watches are also objects of emotion. Each timepiece leaving our workshop bears witness to the past, present and future.
A timepiece of eternity.
Under the direction of a dynamic father-son duo and thanks to the expertise of our master watchmakers, we breathe a soul into every one of our creations.
