Maîtres du Temps is not so much a new watch company as an entirely new horological concept. Founded by Mr. Steven Holtzman, it brings groups of master watchmakers together to develop exclusive timepieces.
It is a conscious effort to promote the people who actually craft the timepieces. By providing them the opportunity to work together Maîtres du Temps harnesses their incredible talent.
The level of technical and design sophistication achieved by Maîtres du Temps has rarely been seen in watchmaking and is the result of the right combination of people sharing a bold vision.
Chapter One
A collaboration with Peter Speake-Marin & Christophe Claret
The Masters: Ensuring that what is seen in the mind's eye can be worn on the wrist is the business of Christophe Claret. His exceptional movements are remarkable for their precision, reliability, and complexity.
For Peter Speake-Marin, Chapter One represents the perfect medium through which to express his knowledge of the historical tradition of fine watchmaking and to convey his belief in its future.
The Timepiece: The ease of both reading and adjusting Chapter One's many indications disguises the fact that this is a world-first combination of complications crafted from 558 components.
No other wristwatch has featured a tourbillon with mono-pusher column wheel chronograph, retrograde date, and retrograde GMT, as well as moon phase and day of the week on their own rolling bars. Long, flowing compound curves traverse the case while scintillating laser-pierced moon and stars on the outer roller of the moon phase indicator add to its stellar elegance.

Chapter Two
A collaboration with Peter Speake-Marin & Daniel Roth
The Masters: Peter Speake-Marin, who worked with Mr. Claret on Chapter One, Chapter Two represents a second opportunity to express his knowledge of fine watchmaking's historical traditions and to convey his belief in its future.
Daniel Roth marks his half-century in watchmaking with his first collaboration for Maîtres du Temps, noting that, "It is totally unlike anything that any of us would have done alone but is the result of us working together."
The Timepiece: To obtain the most efficient and reliable system possible for Chapter Two's groundbreaking movement, the mechanism for driving the rollers demanded a novel solution. The instantaneous change of both date and both rollers attests to the success of the new design.
Chapter Two features hours and minutes indicated by diamond-cut, solid gold hands, with seconds at 6 o'clock, date at 12 o'clock, and day and month spelled out on their respective rollers. The combination boasts legibility unprecedented in a triple-calendar wristwatch.
Chapter Two's tonneau case shape belies its complex architecture through the pure visual harmony of its form: the curves of the lugs match the flow of the case, while the day, date, and month correctors are engraved with their functions for operational clarity. Six anti-reflective sapphire crystals—three on the front and three on the caseback—provide unmatched visual access to both the indications and movement.
