Biver Presents a New Chapter For The Automatique At Dubai Watch Week

Biver Presents a New Chapter For The Automatique At Dubai Watch Week

Since its debut in September 2024, the Biver Automatique has embodied the purest expression of the maison’s watchmaking philosophy — distilled, refined, and uncompromising in its pursuit of beauty through simplicity.

What began with four distinctive models has now evolved into a diverse collection exploring the finest traditional crafts of haute horlogerie, including guilloché, gem-setting, and grand feu enamel.

When designing the Automatique, every line, surface, and proportion must be perfect. There is no room for excess — only precision and harmony. This restraint provides the ideal canvas for artistic expression. For this latest collection, Biver’s artisans have challenged themselves further, introducing new metalworking techniques, innovative stone and gemstone combinations, and the timeless artistry of enamel.

“Dubai Watch Week is a unique opportunity to share our latest creations with a discerning global audience. It’s also a celebration of friendship — marking our partner Ahmed Seddiqi’s 75th anniversary — and a fitting stage to present the newest expressions of the Automatique.”

James Marks, CEO, Biver

The Art of Contrast

The original metal-dialed Automatique trio — in platinum, rose gold, and yellow gold — offered a study in tone-on-tone refinement. Two new references now expand this aesthetic, playing with contrast and texture in elegant, unexpected ways.

The first is a subtle two-tone composition, pairing an 18k rose gold case with a dial crafted from PD210 white gold, a special alloy with higher palladium content that lends a softer, lighter hue. The result is a harmonious interplay of metals — understated yet luxurious — available on a Pomari calf leather strap or matching rose gold bracelet.

The second reference introduces a platinum case and a deep blue dial, blending sunray brushing with hand-executed Clous de Paris guilloché. Each dial requires countless hours of meticulous work on century-old rose engines, with varying guilloché rings creating a seamless dialogue between texture and light. Finished with white gold hands and indices, it exemplifies understated artistry — classic craft in contemporary form.

The Atelier Series: Stones with Soul

The Atelier Series continues to push creative boundaries, reimagining the Automatique through the lens of natural materials. Seven new references join the collection, showcasing four extraordinary stones — mahogany obsidian, Oeil de Fer, blue quartzite, and lavender jade — each with its own character and emotional resonance.

The mahogany obsidian in rose gold radiates warmth with swirling red and black patterns, while the Oeil de Fer in yellow gold reveals earthy veins of ochre, brown, and black. Both dials seem alive with movement, their surfaces shifting subtly with every glance.

The platinum-cased blue quartzite evokes the icy calm of a frozen lake, while the lavender jade offers a serene interplay of pink and violet tones. Select models introduce gemstone hour markers — diamonds or blue sapphires — a first for the Automatique, showcasing Biver’s mastery in integrating fine stones into delicate hardstone dials.

A Contemporary Take on Enamel

Grand feu enamel, often associated with ornate, classical watchmaking, takes on a fresh, modern voice in two new 18k yellow gold Automatique references. The dials, in matte grey or bordeaux, are handcrafted in Geneva by Les Emailleurs de la Cité, and display an elegant restraint that enhances their depth and luminosity.

Paired with luminous yellow gold hands and markers, these models balance tradition and modernity — the solemn beauty of enamel enlivened by subtle, functional touches.

“Enamel has deep roots in our craft. We wanted to honour that heritage while bringing it into our contemporary world — a deliberate tension between classical purity and modern functionality.”

Pierre Biver, Co-Founder & Creative Director, Biver

The Heart of the Automatique

All models are powered by the Calibre JCB-003, developed in collaboration with Dubois Dépraz. Featuring a 22k gold micro-rotor, a 65-hour power reserve, and a zero-reset seconds mechanism, this movement is as visually captivating as it is technically precise. Finishing details include guilloché, black polish, and anglage, with the micro-rotor colour coordinated to each case material — a hallmark of Biver’s obsessive attention to detail.

The Biver Legacy

Following five decades at the summit of Swiss watchmaking, Jean-Claude Biver, together with his son Pierre, embarked on a new journey — one guided by passion, artistry, and freedom from convention. Their mission: to redefine what the future of haute horlogerie can be.

From the grand complication of the Carillon Tourbillon to the refined simplicity of the Automatique, Biver watches represent the synthesis of tradition and innovation — watches created not to follow, but to inspire.
