VLTIME®, LADY V, Aston T Big Date


Olivier Müller, the founder and President of Villemont, created the Villemont brand to offer watches of distinction by way of classical looks with a contemporary feel and traditional craftsmanship utilizing modern techniques. True to this philosophy, the brand’s stylish timepieces are uniquely elegant whilst remaining true to the pure tradition of Swiss watchmaking.
For BaselWorld, the brand is introducing three new eye-catching models, the VLTIME® in the Spirit of Artisans® Collection, the Aston T and the Lady V.
The VLTIME® is the first timepiece in The Spirit of Artisans® Collection and comes in a Limited Edition of just 28 pieces.
