The origin
"A watch is a complex object, and it does so much more than setting the time. It is the embodiment of beauty, craftsmanship and engineering. In addition, a watch is unarguably an extension of yourself - your personality, character and style."
- Édouard Paris | Manime Founder
After years of learning and obsessing about watches, Édouard decided to take his passion to the next level and start creating his own designs. The belief that a good watch must be elegant, unique and timeless inspired his drawings.
Originally created to offer it to his closest friends, Édouard named his creation 'Manime' - as an homage to a place that brings him many good memories. The logo, also designed by him, was inspired by the yellow rose that symbolises friendship, and by France's shape, the hexagon.

Words from the Founder
Manime is an homage to friendship.
Inspired by the authentic moments shared with friends, I want the watch to work as a reminder to be fully present, and take life, a little less seriously.
My first collection, La F. sets the tone for the future of all Manime creations. We aim to offer timeless designs, with great attention to details, for fair prices.
We are also proud to be part of the micro-brand revolution that aims to offer fresh designs and think-out-of-the-box ideas.
I know these are watches my friends (and yours!) can wear with pride.
Édouard Paris
