Education and first public watch
Cyril Brivet-Naudot is the independent French maker behind the Eccentricity watch and the eponymous atelier. The 2018 debut report describes his watchmaking education in Morteau followed by a science degree at EPFL.
Eccentricity was publicly introduced in 2018 after approximately three years of development. 12
Technical identity and production boundary
Eccentricity reinterprets Louis Richard’s libre excentrique escapement and uses a key-wound, rotating-display arrangement. The 2018 report distinguishes non-CNC fabrication from CAD-assisted design and identifies purchased mainspring, hairspring and jewels.
The maker says the atelier fabricates most components, including cases, screws and pins, while purchasing mainsprings, balance springs and some jewels. In his own statement, Brivet-Naudot connects restoration and historical horological study with a deliberately personal handmade practice.
The atelier demonstrates a historically informed alternative escapement and unusually broad component craft; “handmade” should not be rewritten as “no digital design” or “no purchased components”. 231
Further work and association status
The Eccentricity Réserve de Marche was documented in specialist reporting on 23 May 2021 as a further development of the initial watch. AHCI records Brivet-Naudot as a member since 2021.
The association lists the atelier at Kerdréanton, Plogastel-Saint-Germain, Brittany, France. The maker’s website advertises Eccentricity variants and Verticality, while retaining older AHCI-candidate wording. 456
