BRAND'S HISTORY
BRAND'S HISTORy
More than 250 years of Fine Swiss Watchmaking expertise can be
found within the foundation of every GV2 timepiece.
Jacques Gevril, the name behind both GV2 and its parent brand
Gevril, was one of the founding forefathers of the sublime craft
of ne Swiss Watchmaking. He was a most sought-after master of
horologic complications at a time when Swiss Watchmaking had
just begun to become what it is today.
Gevril began as a restorer of timepieces in La Chaux-de Fonds
where he left his name on numerous movements within both
clocks and watches as he rode to success. In 1743 he created his
"Chronometer" and in 1744 his rst "Repetition Dial." In perhaps
his most notable achievement, Gevril became the rst exporter
of Swiss timepieces when he was called upon by Spain in the year
1758, to produce a timepiece for His Majesty, the King. Jacques
set out with the famed Pierre Jaquet-Droz on a historic journey
to Madrid to present his masterpiece.The King was so impressed
with Gevril's creation that he appointed him the Watchmakerto
the Crown. He became known for his impeccable craftsmanship
and for creating timepieces of unmistakable beauty and quality.

BRAND'S HISTORY
Gevril went on to achieve international success in his art while
passing on his expertise to his children. The Gevril name found
success once again when Jacques' son, Moyse, achieved the
status of Master Clockmaker in 1784. During the 18oos, the
family extended their skills to include enameling as well as the
creation of dials for their watches and clocks. The Gevril family
was so much a part of Swiss History that a member of the Gevril
family was actually named Mayor and even today a street exists
in Geneva named rue Daniel Gevril. Attesting to the great Gevril
legacy, modem day horologicenthusiasts can nd actual Gevril
timepieces and accolades in numerous European Museums and
history books that verify the strong inuence of Jacques Gevril on
Watchmaking history.There is a Gevril watch from the year 1800
in the Geneve Museum and most recently it was discovered that
the Rolex Museum possesses a Gevril watch dating back to 1781
kept in its Wll.sdorf Collection, the Wilsdorf name being that of
one of the founders of Rolex. Jacques Gevril was recognized as an
important contributor to the history of ne Swiss Watchmaking
by author Alfred Chapuis in his 1958 book "Grand Artisans De
La Chronometrie".

Gevril's dedication to the ne works of art that he created caused
his timepieces to nd their way into the salons of the royal and
rewarded Gevril with a position of prestige in the history of the
very measurement of time itself.
Today, like Gevril watches, all of GV2's timepieces are individually
handmade with the utmost of thought and innovation. GV2 selects
only the nest materials to go into each timepiece. The automatic
movements are ETA-based with Dubois Depraz layers that are
ultimately nished by our expert watcllmakers. This multi layering of
movement complications ensures that GV2 movements are unique
and exclusive.
