ABOUT

I am Thierry, the founder of FOR8NER.

After over 12 years in the luxury industry at Piaget, where I delved into the world of high-end watchmaking and jewelry. 

I launched FOR8NER to redefine elegance with boldness and innovation. This journey allowed me to meet exceptional talents and inspire clients worldwide.

My story begins with my parents, Cambodian refugees who settled in Besançon, a city renowned for its watchmaking. Their courage and resilience taught me that anything is possible with hard work and determination. While my desire to excel in horology developed later, destiny had already placed me in this cradle of watchmaking.

FOR8NER was born from a desire to celebrate diversity and innovation. Our watches embody the cosmopolitan spirit and sophistication. More than a brand, FOR8NER is a lifestyle, a community that values exchange and mutual inspiration. Join us and dare to wear the exceptional.

WITH FOR8NER, I aim to offer bold and innovative creations, accessible to all, while celebrating diversity and the cosmopolitan spirit.
