Founded by Lionel and managed by Julien and Yannick, Lionel Meylan SA is a family business on a human scale. A blood family, of course, but also and above all a family of collaborators, without whom the adventure would have far less flavor. Let’s open the quotation marks…

Liliana Richoz, Customer Service


His favorite
“At Lionel Meylan, we’re lucky enough to be very close to our customers, which makes it easy to forge bonds. I particularly enjoy taking the time to discuss our customers’ projects: usually created for special occasions, they are the source of precious, privileged moments of sharing.”

His practical advice
“I’ve been part of the family for over 15 years, so I know the inner workings of the company inside out, as it has grown over the years while retaining its human, family feel. I like to pass on these values and this knowledge to new arrivals, both colleagues
and customers.”

Edouard Genetelli, watchmaker and sales consultant


His favorite
“It’s a real pleasure for me to see Longines back in the spotlight with revisited historic models that embody the quintessence of Swiss watchmaking tradition. In our boutiques, we offer choice products that convey history and values, like the Pilot Majetek, for example.”

His practical advice
“As the technical watch referent in our La Palud boutique, I provide our customers with a high-quality watchmaking service to help them get the most out of their timepieces. My aim is to welcome customers, analyze their needs and offer clear, personalized solutions.”

Filipe Rato, Sales and Customer Service


His favorite
“I’d definitely say the Navitimers, for their timeless design and streamlined look. They were much busier at the time, but Breitling decided to lighten their dial, which retains the main, practical functions of time and date while integrating a circular calculator. Quite simply, a mechanical masterpiece!

Her practical advice
“Behind the models we offer in the boutique, there’s a story, a feeling. It’s this emotion that I try to convey to the customer. I’m not going to recommend the same thing to everyone, because my primary aim is to understand the person in front of me, so as to guide them towards the best
purchase of their life.”
