UTINAM Besançon

UTINAM is a contemporary horology brand and manufacture based in Besançon, France, founded by creator Philippe Lebru. Since 1993, it has reimagined traditional watchmaking through original mechanical and kinetic artworks that explore how people experience time. Designed and made in Besançon, its creations bring horological craftsmanship together with contemporary art, inventive mechanisms and expressive forms.

The brand offers monumental and domestic clocks, mechanical automata, and watches. Clock designs include the pendulum-driven Hortense, Constence and Lala models, the sculptural Pop-Up, and the Ballastographe, a suspended regulator with a retrograde minute display and seven-day power reserve. Its watch collections include Météorite, featuring a dial made from a fragment of meteorite; Specimen, which combines an automatic movement with additive manufacturing; and Quadripod, distinguished by its four-part structure. UTINAM also produces limited-edition collaborations with artists, including unique or numbered clocks. Customers can explore the brand’s collections through its online store and contact its advisers for product information.
