 ✔ Fabrication

• Products are hand assembled in Monaco and fabricated in Switzerland and France.

• The Atelcom “jewellery” service:

Machining of the gold or silver parts and setting of the Atelcom products are done in Switzerland in the Locle and Chaux-de-Fonds regions where plants reputed for the quality of their cuts and which fabricate for the leading watch and jewellery makers are located.

• The Atelcom “Leather products” service:

The leathers used by Atelcom (alligator, iguana, ostrich, python) are selected by the best Italian tanneries and are mostly obtained from breeding farms, as a result of which poaching is prevented and excellent quality leathers are acquired. Ostrich skins are obtained from South Africa and alligator leather, which is by far the most natural and luxurious leather, is obtained from breeding farms in Louisiana and Florida.

Iguanas and pythons are among the rare animals that are not obtained from farms because of their abundance in certain specific regions of the world (India, South-East Asia and Central America).

These skins are cut and sheathed in Avoudrey in the Doubs by a manufacturer, well-known for the wealth and quality of its expertise, which works for the top French and International haute couture and leather products companies.
