Hadrien David

There are careers that soar in a straight line. Hadrien David’s is not one of them. And that's precisely why it interests us.

In Royan, he started karting at eight. At fifteen, he became the youngest Formula 4 champion in history. Renault immediately integrated him into its young driver program. Two years later, he was vice-champion of the Formula Regional European Championship and held the record for most podiums in the category. At seventeen, the entire paddock knew where he was headed.

Then nothing. An entire season without a drive, for reasons known only to him.
This is where most stories end. A driver who leaves the circuit at that age usually doesn't come back. He waits, he sours, he becomes a talent spoken of in the past tense.

Hadrien did the opposite. He went back to school, passed entrance exams, and got into Sciences Po, famous french university. While the paddock forgot him, he built something else. Not a plan B : a second backbone.
He graduated. And a door reopened.

He took it. Le Mans Cup Champion in 2025. And in 2026, his debut in the World Endurance Championship, in LMGT3, in the #78 Lexus of the Akkodis ASP Team. A pole position at Spa in his very first season. Then the 24 Hours of Le Mans: second in his category, Lexus's first podium in Sarthe, and the fastest lap in the class set in the twenty-second hour of the race: when bodies give out and gaps widen.
Twenty-two years old. And already two lives.

In watchmaking, we do nothing like others: a hybrid tourbillon, a unique method, a house that refuses to be pigeonholed. We don't choose our partners any differently. We look for paths that are unlike any other, because those are the only ones that resemble us.
When we discussed collaboration with Hadrien, he didn't talk about a season. He talked about years. About growing with us, rather than alongside us.
That's exactly what we came looking for.
