Ivan Berets

Ivan Berets is a rising independent watchmaker. A 2025 graduate of the esteemed Korpela & Hofs Watchmaking Competence Centre in Switzerland, Ivan was trained in the art of making watches entirely by hand using manual machines. During his studies, he designed and built the prototype for what would become the Series 1, marking the beginning of his personal horological journey.

Before turning to horology, he spent a decade as a professional racing driver, an experience that honed his competitive spirit and sharpened the precision and focus that now define his watchmaking.

Now based in Desenzano del Garda, Italy, Ivan is establishing his own workshop, bringing independent watchmaking to a region where it has seen limited presence in recent years.
