These independent companies want to compete with the large and prestigious Manufactures whose particularity is to manufacture their calibers in-house. However, few brands are able to go beyond a specific customization or an original configuration resulting from negotiations with one of the local watch engine manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To liberate themselves from ETA or Sellita dependence at any price without having the means to afford the good courtesies of a Vaucher Manufacture or a Dubois D\u00e9praz, such is the motivation of The+ customers. They can now look forward to a future with a more industrial dimension, i.e. production equipped with reliable movements, which are expected to increase in quantity. The Biel-based company is relying on the successful demonstration of its first basic K1 caliber, which has proved its worth, to imagine this new business model: an intimate collaboration which can last up to 5 years, under the sign of an entirely personal design and construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nHosted calibers, the flexibility of close partnerships<br \/>\n<\/strong>At the end of this cycle, the brand becomes the exclusive owner of a caliber that it has helped to develop, including the intellectual property of what was originally conceived with it. Moreover, its caliber is ready to be industrialized, which means that little by little, as it grows, the brand will be able to set up a dedicated machine park on its premises. It will be able to count on the help of The+&#8217;s staff in this process. And if it already has the know-how to manage the assembling process, it will be able to benefit from the Biel team&#8217;s assistance in terms of component supply, quality control, pre-assembling or assembling, adjustments, intellectual property rights and even facilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWatch complications<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9812\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/the-le-motoriste-qui-reinvente-le-calibre-maison\/swiss-watch-passport-theplus-detail-calibre-k-tourbillon-738\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9812\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Swiss-Watch-Passport-ThePlus-Detail-calibre-K-Tourbillon-738-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9812\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Les calibres de base de The+ se pr\u00eatent \u00e0 l&#8217;ajout de complications, telle ici le Tourbillon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The+&#8217;s experience also guarantees its long-term partners the ability to add a whole range of complications to their caliber, including those suitable for industrialization: center seconds, small seconds, power reserve indicator, large date, small date, GMT and even Tourbillon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nUpgrade kits, optimizing the power reserve<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9814\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9814\" style=\"width: 357px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/the-le-motoriste-qui-reinvente-le-calibre-maison\/swiss-watch-passport-theplus-upgrade-kit-amelioration-reserve-de-marche\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9814\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Swiss-Watch-Passport-ThePlus-Upgrade-Kit-amelioration-reserve-de-marche.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9814\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Une des sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9s de The+ est l&#8217;optimisation des r\u00e9serve de marche.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the market of caliber manufacturers, The+ has already become renowned for its original know-how in power reserve optimization.

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\/D\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \"bloghorloger.ch\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae). Jo\u00ebl A. Grandjean is a member of the SSC, the Swiss Society of Chronometry, and of the jury of the Prix Ga\u00efa, aka the \"Nobel of watchmaking\" awarded since 1992 by the MIH, Le Mus\u00e9e International de l'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds","sameAs":["https:\/\/grandjean.watch","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joel.grandjean","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grandjean.grammson\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joel-a-grandjean-\u270d-5524357\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/tagpress","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@joela.grandjeanprowatchpre906"],"url":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/author\/joel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
