L'Artisan Jurassic

The L’Artisan Jurassic Dear friends, Some creations take time. Others take millions of years. Today, I’m proud to introduce a piece that carries a story unlike anything we’ve ever created before the L’Artisan Jurassic, a watch featuring a genuine dinosaur bone dial, formed over 120 million years ago. This is not a metaphor. The dial you see was once part of a living creature that walked the Earth long before us. Over time, the organic material fossilised into stone, creating a rich, textured surface with deep, natural patterns that can never be replicated. Each dial is entirely unique shaped by nature, preserved through time, and now given a new life on the wrist. The material itself is sourced from Utah, USA, one of the most historically significant regions for dinosaur fossils. Bringing this to life in a watch has been both a technical and creative challenge and something that, to this day, remains exclusive to L’Artisan. A New Expression of a Rare Material For this latest evolution, I wanted to elevate the dial even further. The watch now features applied Breguet numerals, adding depth and classical elegance, paired with a finely executed applied minute track that frames the fossil surface with precision. The contrast between ancient material and refined watchmaking details creates something that feels both raw and sophisticated at the same time. It is, in many ways, a dialogue between past and present. Limited Drops This piece will not follow a traditional release. Instead of pre-orders, we will release small, limited drops each one produced in very small quantities. Once a drop is sold out, it will not return in the same form. Each watch remains individually unique due to the nature of the material.
