Founded in 2009 in Geneva by former mathematics teacher and watch industry veteran Yvan Arpa, ArtyA operates as a fiercely independent "Manufacture of Emotions." Arpa, who previously helped launch Hublot's Big Bang, established the brand to push the boundaries of traditional horology through extreme artistic freedom. The brand is defined by its highly unconventional approach to materials and case construction, frequently utilizing color-changing nano-sapphire, forged carbon, and Damascus steel.
