OUR STORY
As an engineer, I have always been fascinated by the beauty of mechanics, passionate about cars and watches. Keen to understand them better, I enrolled at a training center in Geneva to learn the art of watchmaking. Then, in 2018, I launched Depancel, turning my dream into reality.
Depancel is the contraction of Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega, three French manufacturers whose cars were instruments made for the pleasure of driving. Inspired by their philosophy and creative freedom, Depancel wishes to share these values with those who love beautiful watchmaking.
A brand created by an enthusiast, for motorsport enthusiasts. Thank you for being part of this community!
