Astrid Soyez: Since 2020 at Antiquorum Geneva as Global Sales coordinator, Management Assistant and Auctioneer<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Law and political science studies, 6 years at the \u00c9cole du Louvre and 1 year of gemology… this might have made her head spin. But it is not so.<\/p>\n

Her first collaboration with the watch expert Romain R\u00e9a<\/a> in Paris and since 2 years in Geneva, has been a real eye-opener for her. This is how she got her foot in the door by collaborating with Antiquorum, where she also coordinates the annual auction sales.<\/p>\n

She believes that watchmaking is the link between human technical genius and beauty, between a masterwork and an everyday object. Timepieces are life vehicles and witnesses of our history. And even if this craft requires a high personal commitment, she practices it with passion, thinking every day that the future belongs to people who know how to keep time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
