Pilo & Co. Genève – The Watchmaker of Saint-Gervais
Founded in 2001 by Amarildo Pilo, Pilo & Co. Genève is rooted in the heart of Geneva's historic Saint-Gervais district, known for the legacy of "La Fabrique" – a tradition of Swiss independent watchmaking that has thrived since the 18th century. Our brand remains dedicated to upholding the principles of precision, craftsmanship, and innovation that define this heritage.
With a distinctive array of over fifteen collections for both men and women, Pilo & Co. Genève is celebrated for its exclusive designs, vibrant color palettes, and unique aesthetic, particularly its signature tonneau-shaped cases. Our watches are instantly recognizable, with dials that reveal intricacies like bridges and balances, appealing to those who appreciate the artistry of fine watchmaking.
A Leader in Independent Swiss Watchmaking
In 2024, Pilo & Co. Genève proudly stands as the only mid-range independent Swiss watch brand with three self-owned boutiques in Geneva. This physical presence in Geneva underscores our commitment to accessibility and Swiss craftsmanship. With Amarildo Pilo’s expertise in distribution, we have expanded our influence well beyond Switzerland, becoming one of the most recognized Swiss brands internationally, especially across Asia, where our network of franchises continues to grow.
"At a time when the watch industry is experiencing significant change, we are delighted to celebrate 25 years of Pilo & Co. Genève. Looking ahead, we will remain true to the iconic elements that define our brand: the tonneau shape, colorful dials, and ‘tourbillon look’ that resonate with our clientele. Staying faithful to the spirit of the legendary Cabinotiers, we will further develop our ‘Exceptional Pieces’ collection, featuring practical complications such as date, day, GMT, and power reserve – features that appeal to connoisseurs of fine timepieces. We are determined to uphold the mid-range Swiss watch segment, both locally, through our Geneva boutiques, and globally, via our franchises." – Amarildo Pilo
Vision for the Future: Celebrating Craftsmanship with Modern Appeal
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are excited about the future. Pilo & Co. Genève will continue to evolve while staying loyal to our heritage. Our focus will be on offering exceptional value and refined complications to a discerning clientele. By preserving the artistry of traditional Swiss watchmaking and expanding our reach in key international markets, we remain committed to bringing the spirit of Geneva’s historic craftsmanship into the modern world.

Collections
TEMPO Collection
The automatic Tempo Squelette, exclusively dedicated to women
Available in several versions combining different materials and finishes, this family of Swiss Made mechanical watches with automatic winding is open to view both front and back. The new Tempo Squelette - the ultimate touch of style.
The originality of the skeleton watch is that both wearer and onlooker can revel in the magical spectacle of a micromechanical construction in motion. Increasingly, women are no longer simply satisfied with a highly functional watch that stops every two to five years when the battery runs out. What they now seek is the almost existential beauty of the mechanical genius behind the tiny beating heart of an automatic watch.
Perhaps because of the metaphorical symbolism of the giving of life as only a woman can understand? Perhaps because of her sensitivity to the aesthetic charms of a watchmaking movement whose balletic display transforms it into the ultimate, essential accessory? The perfect accompaniment for an outfit, the ideal colour match, the pay-off between the long hours spent tracking down the tiniest detail and the final distinctive touch that makes it stand out from the crowd.
INVIDIA Collection
Following the success of the first mechanical models, PILO & Co GENEVE launched the Invidia Collection equipped with an automatic mechanical movement with 21 rubies. This unique line offers the particular designs, proposes an image of luxury watch “tourbillon style” or with an indicator of Power Reserve. Particularly appreciated by the aficionados who consider this watch as a playful “clin d’oeil”. The reason for this unparalleled success is the ability of PILO & Co GENEVE to offer quality mechanical watches in the most fashionable of designs to consumers who do not want to spend thousands of dollars for the watch they have been dreaming of. Affordable Chic!
