L’Atelier Nocturne is an independent watchmaking creation studio founded by Q. B., whose experience handling and repairing watches inspired a brand focused on understated design, elegance and fair pricing. Its first creation is an automatic moon-phase watch, limited to 333 individually numbered pieces.

The 38 mm watch has a 316L stainless-steel case, a black dial, a textured red moon display, rose-toned dauphine hands and sapphire crystal on the front and back. Its AN-01 calibre is based on the automatic Peacock SL3511, modified with the date removed, a rose-toned balance and a branded rotor. The movement beats at 28,800 times per hour and offers a 40-hour power reserve; the watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM and comes with both steel and leather bracelets.

The listed price is €480–€580, with the first 50-piece release offering a lower price to waitlist members. Each numbered watch also grants access to a private owners’ community, where members can share ideas for future designs and connect with one another
