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.
