Yvan Arpa stands as one of the most audacious and avant\u2013garde watch creators alive. After having made a significant contribution to some of the biggest success stories in the watch industry, in 2010 he launched his own Brand, called ArtyA. The man plays by his own rules, creating art pieces that simply cannot fit into any existing category of watchmaking. Each piece is either numbered or unique, blending audacity with creativity in a disruptive way \u2013 very provocatively so, on many occasions. No one in this very conservative industry has managed to move so much in so little time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The company is 100% independent, with a highly responsive team of fewer than ten people. ArtyA has its own Manufacture, something very few Swiss Brands have. The Brand and its Manufacture are based in central Geneva.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its indefinable, uncategorizable, innovative and trendsetting collections can be divided into six different families, housed in seven different watch cases, ranging from 38 mm up to 47 mm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ArtyA\u2019s collections all go by the \u201cSon of\u201d brand name\u2009: Son of Sound, Son of a Gun, Son of Earth, Son of Gears, Son of Arts and Son of Love. These families allow Yvan Arpa to have an open, living playground, in which he can create many variations every year, using some very innovative concepts and unconventional raw materials \u2013 such as butterfly wings (under the control of the authorities), stones, real bullets, real (shredded) euros, non-circular mechanical gears, cases struck by real lightning (video available at www.artya.com), steel drenched in motor oil, to name but a few.<\/p>\n

All the hand-made dials in the various collections are made by artist Dominique Arpa-Cirpka, applying numerous techniques \u2013 most of which have never before been used in this industry.
