We had the good fortune of connecting with STEVEN GAGNON and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi STEVEN, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In the world of timekeeping, Eques Timepieces shines as a beacon of innovation and passion. It all began with a Mickey Mouse watch gifted to me at six years old, sparking a lifelong fascination with timepieces. Fast forward to 2000, when a simple question from my wife changed everything. “How about you just make one?” Inspired, I delved into the art of watchmaking, fueled by a desire to create something truly special. Over the next two years, I honed my craft, shaping Eques into a symbol of craftsmanship and dedication to the timeless art of horology.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
EQUES Timepieces has revolutionizing timepiece manufacturing by ditching plastic for stainless steel and brass components. We tackled this be reducing cost of expensive mold creation, we creatively repurpose elements from various molds, redirecting our focus and resources toward crafting high-quality movement timepieces. This not only enhances sustainability but ensures our commitment to delivering exceptional watches that stand out in design, durability, and precision. EQUES offers a unique blend of innovation, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, providing customers with more than just a watch – an investment in craftsmanship and quality.
