Swiss watchmaking atelier in Geneva
FXR-4 Openwork
The FXR-4 Openwork uses the in-house FM04 chronograph calibre, reworked with a sapphire dial so its Lemania 2310-inspired architecture can be viewed from the front as well as through the caseback.
01 / Sapphire dial
The transparent dial exposes the mainplate, bridges and wheel train, giving the chronograph a direct sense of depth and mechanical tension.
02 / Finished calibre
NAC-coated bridges, rhodium-finished wheels, polished steel components, Cotes de Geneve and anglage create layered contrast across the movement.
03 / Titanium case
The grade 23 titanium case keeps the watch light and resilient, while stainless steel pushers and crown add a crisp material contrast.
Calibre FM01
We respect the rich heritage of watchmaking and are always looking to contribute further. In 2020, we developed and realised our first in-house watch movement, the FM01. At 27.5 mm it is perfectly balanced in size to suit high-end men's and ladies watches, and can be tailored to a variety of different decorations.
Innovation
The FM01 is special because its bridge and mainplate components are crafted from a new, recyclable zinc alloy made from recovered materials — an industry first, pioneering a move to more sustainable alternatives in manufacturing.
It's very rare for a watch company to also manufacture its own watch movement. We have been able to achieve this in only five years, producing the majority of the FM01's components here in our Geneva workshop.

Two decoration languages for the FM01.
Geneva stripes
Perlage
Classic Geneva stripes give the calibre a calm, architectural rhythm.
Perlage creates a fine circular texture across the movement surface.
Matte sandblasted finishes can also be specified for more contemporary watch designs.
The FM01 can be decorated in several ways, from classic Geneva stripes to a perlage pattern. Each finish changes the way the movement catches light and allows the calibre to match the character of the final watch.
The choice of finish and decoration can affect cost and production time, but every execution is treated with the same level of attention inside the Fleury Manufacture atelier.
For a bespoke FM01 project, Fleury can advise on the decoration language, bridge colour, engraving tone and final finishing combination.
Chronograph
Jean-Marc Fleury
The watch features a manual winding mechanical movement FM04. Its polished hour and minute hands are located at the centre of the dial, while the chronograph's second and minute hands are colour-coordinated. It includes a minute counter at 3 o'clock, a small seconds counter at 9 o'clock, and a date indicator at 6 o'clock with a day/night display.
Limited edition of 11 pieces

ZEN
Shortly after the Calibre FM01's development, Fleury Manufacture's first watch was born — "ZEN" — a reflection of our philosophy and future aspirations in watchmaking.
To be Zen, is to be at peace and in harmony with the rhythm of the universe. You can see our watch's dial pattern as an embodiment of this state and vibration — a place where creativity is born from a deep intuition. Continuing the theme of limitless space, the dial is set with coloured gems to represent three constellations of Orion, Ursa Major and Cassiopeia in the infinite cycle of stars, planets and time.
Because we produce in small quantities, our Zen watch can be personalised according to your wishes. Different materials and jewels can be added to the dial and bezel, for example, your birthstones or a special message.
