Engraving
Engraving metal means inscribing a design into the material. The tool advances slowly, line by line, working with light and relief. We love those details that may go unnoticed at first glance and reveal themselves to anyone who takes the time to look.
At April H., we believe in the beauty of patient craftsmanship, in materials that carry a story, and in the encounters that bring a work of art into being. Each creation is, above all, a human adventure shaped by the meeting of perspectives, sensibilities and skills.

We are gradually introducing the people who contribute to our creations. Their work and stories will be shared as encounters and collaborations unfold.
April H. Values
At April H., four values guide us: authenticity, creativity, humanity and sharing. They come to life through encounters with artisans, dialogue between crafts and the attention given to every gesture.
Authenticity
We care about origins, the integrity of materials and the sincerity of each gesture. Every creation bears traces of its own story, of the artisans who contributed to it, and of the time devoted to making it.
Creativity
We value encounters between worlds that may initially seem far apart. Watchmaking enters into dialogue with sculpture, colour, glass, marquetry and jewellery. These exchanges give rise to forms we could never have imagined alone.
Humanity
Behind every work are hands, perspectives, personal journeys, and sometimes years of learning. We want to give these human stories the place they deserve, because they matter to us as much as the object they help bring into being.
Sharing
Creation is a dialogue—with craftspeople, artists, collectors and everyone who takes the time to explore our approach. We love seeing our works become occasions for encounters, exchanges and the passing on of knowledge.
WORKS of art
Handcrafted in France
In October, Mensonges pairs horology with an amethyst geode. The stone’s irregular forms and reflections impose their own rhythm on the work. We value the presence of nature within the creation, accompanied by artisans’ gestures and a restored mechanical movement.

“Amethyst has a regal colour, a deep violet symbolising nobility and wisdom.”
