Our mission

PUTTING BEAUTIFUL MECHANICS ON AS MANY WRISTS AS POSSIBLE

We are a team of eight enthusiasts who are driven by creativity and sharing. Like a team in the paddock: cohesion, exchange and passion are the watchwords at Depancel. Our philosophy of life is simple: dare to be bold so as not to have any regrets. We are convinced that everything is possible and that with passion, creativity and perseverance, everyone can make their wildest dreams come true. That's why our team works every day to create watches and worlds that inspire you.

Gathering enthusiasts at the heart of the project

A BRAND CREATED BY ENTHUSIASTS, FOR ENTHUSIASTS

In the traditional watch industry, the observation has been the same for years: brands that are often elitist and not very transparent, which put products on the market that do not reflect the expectations of enthusiasts. Conversely, when people are looking for an affordable watch, the quality is often not there.

 

Our aim with Depancel is to create a community brand in which you are at the heart of the project: you tell us what you want, and then we work to offer you the watch you want at the best possible price-quality ratio!

We explain in detail what we do

AND ABOVE ALL HOW WE DO IT!

Originally, Clément created Depancel with the desire to combine his two passions, watchmaking and automobiles. Fascinated by the beauty of a watch mechanism and curious to understand how it works, he decided to learn the watchmaking trade while working as an engineer in a research laboratory in Geneva. In 2018, he launched his first collection of watches, inspired by the world of beautiful mechanics.

A contraction of Delage, Panhard and Facel Vega, Depancel make hers the codes of iconic automobiles to create watches with a sporty DNA. With a logo inspired by the 1954 Facel Vega coat of arms, dials that look like dashboards, and leather straps reminiscent of the construction of drivers' gloves, each collection reflects a passion for mechanics, both watchmaking and automotive.

THANK YOU!

Today, several thousand of you have participated in the design of our collections and wear a Depancel on a daily basis. Thanks to you, we are getting closer every day to our goal of putting beautiful mechanics on as many wrists as possible!
