C-Logo Story
The Story Begins with Family
Passed down through generations—from grandfather Émilie Charriol to founder Philippe Charriol—the iconic C emblem of the Maison finds its origins in a cherished family heirloom: a gold signet chevalier ring once worn by Philippe’s father.
This ring, steeped in personal history and marked by time’s elegance, inspired the creation of the signature “C” crest that now defines the Charriol identity.
More than a design element, it represents a lineage. A legacy. A symbol of continuity, craftsmanship, and the enduring values that have shaped the Maison across generations.
The “C” arch
A graceful, sculpted curve inspired by the form of an arch—one of humanity’s oldest symbols of strength, resilience, and mastery. It anchors the crest with timeless elegance.
Intersecting arrows
Two arrows aligned in perfect balance, representing precision, discipline, and high-watchmaking accuracy. Their crossing point signifies the **meeting of past and future**—where legacy and innovation intersect.
Their directional tension also reflects Charriol’s unique identity: a French heritage spirit expressed through the artistry and rigor of Swiss watchmaking. A convergence of cultures, craftsmanship, and generations—united at the heart of the crest.
A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER
As Philippe Charriol himself expressed:
“I built my style like an alchemist—combining classicism and modernity, blending sobriety with exuberance, yet never neglecting functionality and quality.”
This philosophy continues to guide the Maison today, shaping every detail of its creations and every symbol within its emblem.
A Legacy, Carried Forward
From a family crest to a timeless emblem, every creation tells a story of artistry, heritage, and precision.
Our watches and jewelry are not merely worn — they are inherited, treasured, and passed forward.
