And

Hubert CHEVAL, Founder & Director, Watchmaker of the company "HWRA Sàrl"

For the short history of our company name: "H" for Hubert (my spouse's first name) and Horlogerie "W" for Varaporn (from my Thai first name) and Valérie "R" and "A" for my Rapin surname

I present myself to you, Madame Varaporn Valérie RAPIN, founder and angleuse lime within the company "HWRA Sàrl", created in October 2022. After in-house training from "master to pupil" in the trade of file angleur, as well as several years' experience with the haute horlogerie manufacture "Breguet SA", in Le Chenit.

I am continuing my professional career by joining the "Ferdinand Berthoud" workshop for file anglage and decoration of timepieces, in Fleurier. Passionate about my craft, which demands technical skill, meticulousness and a commitment to excellence. I eventually set up my workshop in Couvet, in the Val-de-Travers.

I work on a variety of materials, in particular titanium, nickel silver, gold, brass and steel. My work encompasses all the tasks a file beveler performs, such as cabron drawing, file beveling, honing, polishing and molding. In addition, I manually carry out hooping, straight-draw strokes, as well as block polishing, also known as mirror polishing or black polishing.

I've been working with prestigious brands since my early days. What's more, our customers are very demanding when it comes to quality and wish to safeguard this unique know-how.

We form a small team of three people, working in complete confidentiality for our customers. Don't hesitate to contact us for any further information or to come and discover our workshop.
