Just between us…

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…

“We’re seeing a boom in the vintage trend, and I’m delighted to see these pretty little gold watches back on the wrists of the trendy generations. The Cartier Tank in yellow gold combines everything I appreciate: history, restoration, enhancement, custom leather creation…
to be worn without moderation!”

Her practical advice
“When I talk to a customer, I offer my eye, my character and my sensitivity. It’s an exchange interspersed with a lot of emotion, which you have to let work. Let your eyes shine on a stone, a color, a reflection…
and the magic will happen.”

Aline Dubois, Breitling boutique manager

His favorite
“I’d say without hesitation the Breitling Top Time, for its youthful, innovative side. Its design breaks with codes while remaining true to the brand’s DNA. It perfectly embodies the cool, dynamic spirit that I find in the Meylans: an undeniable passion for watchmaking, always with a modern, bold edge.”

Her practical advice
“What sets me apart is my slightly rocky, offbeat personality. I don’t hesitate to shake up the norms to offer pieces that reflect not only the art of watchmaking, but also the character of my customers: more than an object, a watch is a piece of history that must resonate with the personality of the wearer, because every customer is unique.”

“What particularly appeals to me about Lionel Meylan is the family spirit of the company, with its warm, cooperative atmosphere. It’s this atmosphere
of sharing and trust, which is also felt by our customers, that contributes to making a lasting impression.”

Her practical advice
“As an apprentice, I’m on all fronts! Stock management, administration, sales, repairs… To be truly at the service of customers, you need to have a global vision of the store, so that customers feel they can count on us in any circumstance. I like to feel that the person in front of me is receptive when
I pass on what I’m being taught.”
