Who makes Fabergé’s complicated watches

Fabergé offers the Compliquée Peacock, reference 1542/24, with a hand-wound retrograde display and an Agenhor-developed movement. Agenhor’s own portfolio identifies Fabergé’s Peacock as AGH-6901.

The Visionnaire Chronograph was introduced in 2017 with an Agenhor movement developed by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team. The 2017 reporting identifies Aurélie Picaud’s project direction and Jean-Marc Wiederrecht/Agenhor as technical partners; it locates watchmaking in Geneva and headquarters in London at that time. 2546

Fabergé after Gemfields: the ownership dates that matter

Gemfields announced on 1 September 2025 that its sale of Fabergé Limited to SMG Capital LLC completed on 29 August 2025. Fabergé’s official history dates Gustav Fabergé’s St Petersburg workshop and shop to 1842 and Carl’s leadership to 1872.

Historical family businesses, twentieth-century name licensing and the modern Fabergé brand should not be treated as uninterrupted original-workshop manufacture. 31

People, production and attribution

Fabergé is a documented luxury watch brand as well as a jewellery house. Its current entity and product activity must be separated from the nineteenth-century business and later trademark relaunch. The official history records the family’s departure during the revolutionary period and a separate Paris Fabergé & Cie venture established in 1924.

Fabergé’s timeline distinguishes a 2007 acquisition of trademarks/licences from Unilever and the modern high-jewellery relaunch on 9 September 2009. The brand timeline records Gemfields’ acquisition in 2013. 1234

Continuity and the record today

The Visionnaire Chronograph places elapsed-time indications centrally, with jumping elapsed hours and minutes; ordinary time is read around them. A live official watch-product page was accessible on 15 September 2026; the verified ownership event remains the 2025 completed sale.

Fabergé’s official timeline places the Compliquée Peacock collection launch in 2015. Fabergé’s 2026 timeline identifies Sergei Mosunov as owner and CEO; private beneficial-ownership records were not inspected. 4231
