[Special Geneva Watch Week 2023] Watchmaking: Biver, the new watch brand that everyone will be talking about
The Watches & Wonders exhibition starts today and runs until April 2nd in Geneva. Luxus+, partner of the event, is dedicating a special series to the event… Reports, encounters, favorites, practical information and gift ideas are to be discovered now!
It is in Switzerland, in the commune of Givrins that the Biver family (father and son) unveiled their new brand to professionals and journalists: Biver. Their first model? A minute repeater watch. Zoom in on the striking debut of Wonder Week 2023.

Formerly President of the watch division of the LVMH group, he then participated in the turnaround of numerous watchmaking companies such as Omega, Hublot and Tag Heuer. As if he had gold in his hands, it is now his turn to design his own brand, accompanied by his last son, Pierre.
Together, they are embarking on a new family adventure, from the design to the naming, which takes their family name. To this end, they rely on the greatest specialists in each field: dials, hands, bracelets, cases… to create exceptional, almost museum-like pieces.
The first part of this family story highlights a jewel of watchmaking that only the greatest craftsmen can master: a carillon minute repeater watch, simply called Carillon Tourbillon BIVER.
