Olivier Müller, Villemont Founder and CEO, leaves the company. His successor will be named at an appropriate time.

Through VILLEMONT, Olivier Müller was able to achieve a long-standing dream: establish his own brand uniting the finest craftsmen from every field to create exceptional mechanical watches with complications pertinent to daily life.

In a few short years, VILLEMONT was able to position itself within the particularly exclusive community of distinguished Swiss watchmaking. The brand constructed a strong identity for itself around the history of the famous explorer Roald Amundsen, a man whose values the entrepreneur can identify with: a courageous and unique approach, the quest for perfection and innovation. Olivier Müller has continually blazed his own trail to get beyond the beaten path; in so doing he perpetuates the pioneering philosophy that is his heritage.

Today VILLEMONT timepieces are internationally established, renowned for their strong aesthetic characteristics, their quality and the care taken with their details – all aspects which confirm their connection to the most distinguished elements of the Swiss watchmaking tradition. At Baselworld 2008, VILLEMONT unveiled its first house-designed movement, a universal hour watch with unique functions.

Founded on long-term objectives, VILLEMONT continues to explore new territories while maintaining its independence. The company’s promising growth and future-oriented investment projects is a sign of interesting challenges to come despite the current economic situation.

An entrepreneuring soul, Olivier Müller hopes to continue working in the watchmaking field, an area in which he has particular expertise and which, it goes without saying, he holds dear to his heart… "make your own story".
