The house of Barthelay was founded in the 1930's by Alexis Barthelay, a name which has always been associated with a tradition of fine jewellery. With an innate passion for gems, Alexis was soon turning out creations that attracted the attention of the jewellers from the place Vendôme in Paris. Today, Barthelay creates watches of the highest calibre, employing the most noble materials such as steel, gold and diamonds - symbols of strength and endurance.
