Automaton and first wristwatch

Pagès dates the start of his own business to 2012, following training in antique-watch restoration and complication design. His early Tortoise automaton preceded Soberly Onyx, a ten-piece first wristwatch series introduced in 2016. Soberly Onyx uses a movement based on a Cyma calibre; the maker describes its hand execution and black-onyx dial. It should not be described as an entirely original base calibre. 23

Recognition and later production model

Raúl Pagès received the first Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives on 6 February 2024. The award provided a grant and mentorship, not evidence that LVMH acquired his business. A March 2025 direct review documents the RP2 as a later wristwatch project: external specialists supply components, including case and dial, while Pagès’s atelier undertakes finishing and regulation. The reviewer describes a small team rather than a single person making every part. 56

Three different meanings of making a Pagès watch

The RP1 Régulateur à détente is described by its maker as an original hand-wound regulator-display wristwatch using a pivoted detent escapement, with separate indications for hours, minutes and seconds. 4

Continuity and the record today

Pagès is the independent watchmaking business of Raúl Pagès in Les Brenets, Switzerland. AHCI lists the business name, Les Brenets address and official pageswatches.com website, and dates his membership to 2017. The RP2 review contains inconsistent annual-output figures—15 and 25 pieces in different sections—so neither is adopted as a verified production rate.

Pagès qualifies as a confirmed watch brand; its name refers to the maker’s business, not solely to an RP1 product or to the Louis Vuitton prize project. 162
