Utinam
Time Art
Around Five was born from the meeting between Antoine Lorotte and Philippe Vallat, engineer and designer with many collaborations on various exceptional projects to their credit.
In parallel to their activities, they have created Around Five, carrying the values of pleasure, quality and innovation.
Multidisciplinary art
Artist, creator, inventor, designer...
Like Utinam, Philippe Lebru doesn't fit into any box.
His work evolves and reveals the porous boundaries between the worlds of design, art mechanics and contemporary watchmaking.
Time measurement
Clocks, watches, automata... Utinam's mechanical and kinetic works of art offer a time that goes beyond simple measurement: autonomous, independent time, free to repeat itself ad infinitum.

In March 2021, French designers Philippe Lebru and Alain Silberstein joined forces to launch the Kontwaz Bauhaus 2 (KB2) clock; a fun, refreshing co-creation. Its dial, hands and various other components play on the primary colours and geometrical shapes that make up Alain Silberstein's inimitable style - and the basis of his international success. Inspired by Philippe Lebru's iconic Pop Up clock, it is equipped with his famous UTINAM movement. A fine example of Nouvelle Horlogerie with a "French Touch"!
Limited to 88 pieces, KB2 is fully developed and crafted by the UTINAM manufacture, located in Besançon, in the heart of France's watchmaking region
