Christopher Wegener discovered watchmaking at fourteen. One week of internship. That was enough.

He spent the years that followed going deeper than most. His apprenticeship at Rolex gave him something design school never could — the discipline of industrial precision, the understanding that a tolerance of a few microns is not a detail, it is the whole point.

From there, he spent eight years alongside F.P. Journe, contributing to the Chronomètre Souverain, the Octa and the Chronomètre à Résonance. Then came time at Laurent Ferrier, working on pieces integrating the natural escapement and tourbillon constructions. And finally, years within a discreet and highly regarded manufacture developing grand complications — minute repeaters and tourbillons built for houses that would never put another name on them. Work that happens in silence, for people who know exactly what they are asking for.

By the time Christopher sat down to think about Pragma, he had spent two decades learning exactly how watches are made — and exactly what that process can, and should, demand of itself.

Pragma is not a response to the market. It is a response to a standard.

Every material sourced and documented. Every component chosen twice — once for performance, once for provenance. The movement developed with Chronode SA, bridges and plates in 100% recycled Grade 5 titanium. The case built from Solar Stainless Steel — an industry-first alloy produced from 100% recycled steel, melted using solar energy by Panatere SA. The strap in Cordura re/cor™, 100% recycled. 84.5% recycled materials by volume. 100% Swiss Made. Every supplier named and documented publicly.

We are at the beginning. The P1 — Perseverance is the first answer to a much longer question — one that will take us beyond the watch, into new instruments, new forms, new ways of thinking about what precision can look like when it is given the time it deserves.
