Mr. Emile Chouriet was a master watchmaker in the late 17th c. in Geneva. The Emile Chouriet brand, owned by Montres Chouriet Company, was created in Geneva, Switzerland.
The brand name, EMILE CHOURIET which was reactivated by Jean Depéry, was a means to paying tribute to Mr. Emile Chouriet and, through him, his ancestor, François Dagobert Depéry.
For Jean Depéry comes from a line of Master Watchmakers, whose history goes back to 1700. At that time, François Dagobert Depéry supplied Emile Chouriet with watch components. In 1685, Emile Chouriet opened his workshop in Geneva where he developed his watchmaking skills. He specialised in watch decoration. Emile Chouriet skilfully decorated enamelled watches to which he added intricate guilloche patterns, foils, pearls and golds of different colours. Choice of materials, engraving work and inlaid precious stones: everything added up to perfection."Our responsibility is to bequeath the heritage of skilled craftsmanship to current and future generations!", declared Jean Depéry, Director of Montres Chouriet, SA.
