Altan Güldür opened his first leather workshop when he was only 18 years old. From the very first year, he made a wallet for the customers of a bank in the canton of Vaud. It was then that he decided to specialize in corporate gifts.

Invention of the watch travel case
It was in 2006 that the idea emerged in Altan Güldür’s mind: the watch case should allow the watch to be positioned optimally, both elegantly and practically. After a year of manufacturing tests, the first version of the Geneva case was launched in spring 2007.
