BIVER
ActiveBIVER is an independent Swiss watch brand founded by Jean-Claude Biver and his son Pierre. Based in Givrins, it makes hand-finished mechanical watches, including the Automatique, the Carillon Tourbillon minute repeater and the manually wound AB. Its movements are developed with specialist partners, with watch assembly and decoration carried out at its atelier.
Jean-Claude and Pierre Biver established their watch company in 2022 and introduced its first watch, the Carillon Tourbillon, in 2023. The brand's current story page dates its beginning to that 2023 public launch. The company operates as jcbiver SA in Givrins, Switzerland. In September 2024, BIVER introduced the Automatique, a time-only watch powered by the micro-rotor calibre JCB-003, developed in partnership with Dubois Depraz. In October 2026, it added the AB, its first steel watch and first manually wound model. The AB's JCB-004 movement was developed with Le Cercle des Horlogers. At the Givrins atelier, each AB is assembled twice by one watchmaker, with cleaning between builds and testing before delivery.
