1908. It all began here.Joseph Rochet and Edmond Zuccolo, master jewellers, crafted chains for pocket watches. Meticulous, precise work, already focused on the finer details.It was here that the Rochet standard of excellence was born.Very quickly, the House expanded into the manufacture of metal bracelets in Annecy. An ambitious undertaking for the time, yet one that never compromised on the quality of craftsmanship. Precision. High standards. Craftsmanship passed down through the generations. The foundations were laid.
Annecy – French Alps After training as a jeweller and watchmaker in Paris, Joseph ROCHET returned to his hometown to begin the ROCHET story.It is therefore in Annecy, a magnificent town nestled between the lake and the mountains, that our head office and logistics centre are located – the point from which all our watch straps are dispatched. Destination: the whole world.
Historically rooted in metal, Rochet innovates with the elastic metal bracelet among others. Evolve? Yes. But without ever forsaking what matters most. The 70s: leather takes hold. New uses, new materials, same high standards. 2001: the birth of men's jewellery. Steel, ceramic, carbon, titanium… Rochet ventures into new territories. Then came the collaborations, the natural stone collections, the hybrid concepts. A brand on the move. Just like time.
