Born from a couple Béatrice and Jean-Paul Burgun to start their own distribution channel of watches, following a trip all around Europe in 1977, the Pierre Lannier adventure was officially launched in the bucolic village of Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne, and more precisely in the family dining room. However, this starting point was ephemeral since Pierre Lannier quickly decided to internationally expand, and this from 1979. From France, to Germany, passing by Japan, until the United States until the ultimate recognition in the watchmaking world, in the 1990s. Indeed, during those decades, the firm was honored by several awards, such as the 1993 golden dial for the Miluna and its half-moon dial and the 1998 watch of the year for the Cédric Pioline chronograph.
