You can’t choose your family. It imposes itself on you. With its codes, values, past and aspirations. In the Meylan family, however, history takes a different, singular turn. It is woven from the choices and desires shared by a father and his sons, and from a common passion for Haute Horlogerie and fine jewelry. It’s a solid cement, an unshakeable foundation, passed down from generation to generation and spreading far beyond the family sphere.Julien and Yannick Meylan could have taken other paths, they could have turned to other passions. And yet, together they chose to combine the love of beauty passed down from their father like an inheritance. In 2002, Yannick joined the small business created by Lionel on August 1, 1990. Julien joined two years later. In their wake, the extended family has continued to grow. Today, Lionel Meylan is the name of a team of thirteen passionate people who, in the three boutiques, in Vevey and at Glacier 3000, spread the love of watchmaking and jewelry on a daily basis.Some have been with the company for ten years. Others have only recently joined the Meylan family. But they all share the same spirit: the beauty of the object and the sense of service. Whether they are watchmakers or advisors, whether they are skilled in gemology or jewelry, they all share the same desire to accompany Lionel Meylan’s customers in their search for the watch or jewel that suits them best. Having the time to talk, to listen, to be humble and authentic are qualities that can’t be written down on a résumé. It’s a way of being, a pleasure and a sensitivity that, combined with an excellent knowledge of watchmaking and jewelry, are passed on quite naturally. Without a word. Like a family…
