🏛 About Pierre Kunz

Born in 1959 in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux, Pierre Kunz began his career at Victorin Piguet, building grande complications by hand. After restoring antique clocks, he was invited by Franck Muller to create his own line under Watchland in Geneva in the early 2000s. Known worldwide as the “Master of Retrogrades,” Kunz reimagined time display through kinetic, poetic dial design — and the Tahiti Moon stands among his most captivating works.
