AZUREA: A CDMO specialising in complex micro-mechanical applications

AZUREA: A CDMO specialising in complex micro-mechanical applications Published on 20 March 2026 While the Azurea Group has forged a strong reputation in the watchmaking industry thanks to more than a century of expertise in this area, its subsidiary Azurea Microtechnique has shifted much of the focus of its activities to the medical sector since 2018. This ISO 13485-certified company positions itself as a one-stop shop supplying complete micro-mechanical sub-assemblies. Azurea Microtechnique est basée à Bévilard, dans le canton de Berne en Suisse. Azurea Microtechnique has inherited the Group’s historical expertise in miniaturisation and precision. “It makes sense for us to leverage our expertise in small products from watchmaking in order to pivot to the medtech industry, which is constantly seeking to reduce space,” explains Yohann Viennet, CEO of the Azurea Group. “This means we’re now having to comply with dimensional constraints that come close to those of watchmaking.” He highlights another commonality between the two sectors: “As even the slightest blemish is a no-no in both medtech and watchmaking, our machining must be controlled down to the micron level, although this isn’t necessarily required by the dimensional tolerances given in the technical specifications.” One-stop shop service Azurea Microtechnique’s operations go far beyond the Group’s historical machining activities, as the company has specialised in producing complex assemblies for micro-mechanical applications. For this purpose, it has acquired additional in-house resources and skills – passivation, laser marking and assembly in ISO 5 and ISO 7 cleanrooms (gluing, pressing, crimping, screwing, welding) – and also draws on other activities in which the Group has expertise, such as cutting, grinding and milling. “In every case, Azurea Microtechnique remains the customer’s single point of contact,” says Viennet. “We manage all the supplies and provide them with a finished and functional sub-assembly.” In other words, from design for manufacturing onwards, the customer can hand over to Azurea Microtechnique the end-to-end industrialisation of components or complete functions, while benefiting from its infrastructure and industrial equipment for series production, with quality being monitored through automated process control (APC). An approach based primarily on the function of the delivered unit What sets Azurea Microtechnique apart is that its approach isn’t limited to manufacturing a part, but focuses primarily on guaranteeing that the customer’s part will actually deliver the specified functionality. The company has particular expertise in four main functional areas: . seals; . clips; . transmission and delivery systems; and . cutting/slicing. For example, as far as seals are concerned, the company worked on a medical-grade stainless steel implantable valve connector for treating hydrocephalus. The main difficulty here was ensuring that the seal would be maintained under pressure. Another example of the company’s activities, combining its expertise with both seals and clips, was a facility for cleaning and disinfecting dental hand instruments. Azurea Microtechnique produced the entire micro-mechanical system for connecting and injecting the fluid. This project involved three difficulties: ensuring a sealed interface between the cleaning equipment and the hand-held device, with the latter clipping onto the equipment; making sure that the fluid passes through all the channels of the hand-held device without any leaks; choosing the appropriate material and design to prevent the corrosion to the equipment caused by the cleaning agent. In terms of transmission and drive systems, there is the micro-mechanical pumping and regulation system of various insulin pumps.   Finally, the company’s expertise in cutting/slicing can be seen in, for instance, an ophthalmic device for corneal ablation.   “We’re fortunate enough to be able to call on a team of expert engineers with advanced skills in industrialisation, methods, metrology and quality,” adds Viennet.       Comprehensive regulatory support   Beyond functional security, the customer can rely on Azurea Microtechnique for all the regulatory aspects relating to the qualification and industrialisation of their product. The company provides them with a full technical dossier including all the installation qualification (IQ)/operational qualification (OQ)/performance qualification (PQ) stages, the production part approval process (PPAP), the process capability index (Cpk) and the calibration and measurement capability (CMC).

More compact, PX calibres transcend the Sphérillon

More compact, PX calibres transcend the Sphérillon Published on 15 December 2025 The horological UFOs known as Sphérillon—a contraction of “sphere” and “tourbillon”—are undergoing a revolution: now more compact, promising additional functions, and even capable of evolving into automatic calibres. The most avant-garde watch brands are set to experience new, improbable thrills. Under the name PX, the art of the tourbillon enters a new dimension. At EPHJ 2025 First unveiled in Geneva in 2022 at the high-precision trade show by Purtec, the company of “crazy movements” founded in 2021 in Vallorbe by Arnaud Faivre and integrated into the Tec-Group Swiss, this invention by master watchmaker and Gaïa Prize laureate Éric Coudray now opens up fresh applications. “Talented designer and master watchmaker Éric Coudray named his tourbillon ‘Sphérillon’ to simply define its main technical specificity,” noted journalist and watchmaker Vincent Daveau in a Swiss horology journal. He recalled that “in 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet also christened his cage ‘tourbillon,’ as it performed a regular rotation to cancel out balance defects of the regulating organ inside—because once the watch was running, the component seemed to whirl.” A Concentration of Feats Inspiring Creativity Rarely has a mechanical calibre embodied such a blend of enchantment, kinetics, chronometric complexity, and precision. Now, under the PX designation, the celebrated Sphérillon has been reduced in size, making it more accessible for those returning to the design of timepieces with more “reasonable” dimensions—aligned with the global trend back to 40 mm diameters, or even smaller. This roadmap also brought an inevitable gain in reliability thanks to fewer components overall. Notably, the thickness remains at 9.46 mm—even in “full options” versions—and the 50-hour power reserve is still guaranteed. ‘A calibre housed in a case that stays true to the current trend of watches returning to around 40 mm in diameter, with a tonneau and square shape.’? Photographer and graphic artist Jérôme Saillard has demonstrated through case studies that countless combinations are possible. “The mainplate has been optimized to optionally integrate additional functions: two options for power reserve display (at 6 o’clock or 4 o’clock), the addition of a seconds hand aligned with the off-centered hour track while preserving clear legibility of the hour and minute hands, and not forgetting the automatic winding system,” explains Bastien Maillefer, Purtec’s head of watchmaking.  Prestigious brands lining up Under the PX designation, these evolutions of the Sphérillon are hyper-complex micromechanical constructions, already being tested for months on the wrists of Purtec’s watchmakers. There is little doubt that this vast territory of new technical and aesthetic possibilities will soon inspire the most prestigious houses of haute horlogerie to create pieces that go far beyond mere “talking pieces.” https://purtec-movements.com PX Purtec calibres 21,600 vph, technology and materials With reduced diameter and thickness, the PX calibres fit seamlessly into tonneau cases (32.8 mm from 3–9h and 34.3 mm from 12–6h), as well as square or round designs. The rotation speed of the titanium outer cage of the tourbillon remains at 30 seconds, ensuring extraordinary visual appeal. To achieve greater inertia despite the smaller size, the balance arms and weights are crafted in solid gold. Meanwhile, the outer terminal curves of the Breguet spirals at the heart of these calibres—beating at 3 Hertz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour—are shaped internally in the “Philips” style. Joël A. Grandjean / 1876 News Sienna Private Equity joins TEC Group On October 17, 2025, TEC Group, founded in 2008 by Arnaud Faivre, announced the entry of Sienna Private Equity (SPE), a European mid-market private equity fund, as an investor.

Watch Medtech Challenge 2025: when watchmaking inspires the medicine of the future Published on 15 December 2025 Every year, the Watch Medtech Challenge highlights Swiss excellence at the intersection of watchmaking technology and medical innovation. In 2025, five finalist projects are competing for recognition with bold proposals that blend mechanical precision, biomedical expertise, and forward-looking vision. his edition highlights two particularly inspiring initiatives: DAES SA, with its digital simulation of the human torso, and BEMRC SA, with its fully mechanical syringe driver. BEMRC SA – A mechanical syringe pump with watchmaker precision   1. DAES SA – Digital Modeling to Transform the Treatment of Lower Back Pain Lower back pain affects up to 75% of the adult population: a true modern scourge. Confronting this public health challenge, DAES SA, based in Petit-Lancy, is developing a digital model of the human torso to precisely simulate biomechanical interactions between medical devices and the human body. Their approach, aligned with international validation standards (ASME V&V40), optimises device design in the preclinical phase by reducing reliance on lengthy and costly physical testing. Continuously enriched, this digital torso anticipates complications, evaluates mechanical performance, and supports personalized rehabilitation strategies. It marks a new era in Medtech design—one where technology serves prediction, safety, and above all, tangible patient benefit. 2. BEMRC SA – A mechanical syringe pump with watchmaker precision Who would have thought that a spring inspired by watch barrels could find its place in a medical device? That is the bold innovation of BEMRC SA, the engineering firm based in Noës/Sierre, which has unveiled a fully mechanical syringe driver capable of ensuring continuous infusion through a winding mechanism. With no battery or backup power supply, this system relies entirely on mechanical energy, offering a simple, robust and reliable solution in constrained or critical environments. Elegant yet functional, this innovation sits at the crossroads of watchmaking and healthcare, paving the way for autonomous, precise medical devices—ideal for responding to power outages or operating in regions with limited energy resources. 3.

Strategic acquisition in the world of custom packaging

Strategic acquisition in the world of custom packaging Published on 15 December 2025 With the acquisition of CDF Emballage, the Weepackup Group secures a new production site at the very heart of Switzerland’s watchmaking hub. Two family-run companies united under the reassuring banners of ethics and continuity. From now on, they operate as one. Aside from a streamlined graphic identity for CDF Emballage, no visible changes are apparent—though behind the scenes, synergies are naturally taking shape to drive greater efficiency. Unsung players in a value chain The paths of the Weepackup group and CDF Emballage in La Chaux-de-Fonds are similar. Their trades and expertise converge around the same market expectations. Essential yet often overlooked, these “industrial packagers” work in the shadows of a value chain where their indispensable role is vital: protecting technical creations of diverse, unique, and sometimes improbable shapes. Fragile, breakable, precious, or bulky—all share a common denominator: once produced, they must be transported from the manufacturing site to the client or end consumer. The more complex the finished piece, component, or assembled system, the more its packaging must be specifically designed and engineered. Logistics, including deadlines and costs, must be mastered down to the smallest detail. A bouquet of expertise, rooted in proximity A company specializing in multi-material custom packaging inevitably works with cardboard, wood, and foam. These unique, tailored solutions—sometimes even flight cases—are the result of a wide range of skills that the group has chosen to fully internalize from design, via its in-house engineering office, to production in its factories. Among the many factors to balance are eco-responsibility, weight, handling, and ergonomics. In this equation, the addition of a new production site —strategically located at the crossroads of watchmaking and its sister industries—further strengthens the group’s network of five existing facilities. Five production sites, one human-scale group “Industrial packaging is far more complex and indispensable than it might appear. The products we package are often of high added value, which makes protection a critical issue. That is why we decided to internalize every stage of the process to maintain full control over quality. From design—through technical drawings, ergonomic analysis (since packaging must integrate seamlessly into our clients’ production lines, user-friendliness is key), eco-responsibility, and more—to execution across our various production sites, we manage everything from A to Z,” explains Thomas Grégoire, Director of Development at Weepackup and CEO of CDF Emballages in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Weepackup, in brief The group was founded in 1947 as a sawmill, later evolving into a crate manufacturer before diversifying into multi-material packaging—wood, cardboard, and foam. In 2020–2021, Pack Up joined the group, strengthening expertise in foam transformation. Finally, in 2024, CDF Emballage and its 25 employees in La Chaux-de-Fonds became part of the group, enabling the Swiss market to benefit from a local production solution in a sector where proximity and responsiveness are essential. Founded in 1978 under the name Caisserie de la Fiaz, the family-run CDF Emballage gradually specialized in custom multi-material packaging, mirroring the group’s trajectory. Its craftsmanship and family values leave no doubt about the synergies created by this new alliance. https://cdf-emballage.ch             News 15 December 2025 More compact, PX calibres transcend the Sphérillon 15 December 2025 Innovation Digest EPHJ 2025 – The Future of High Precision, Down to the Micron! 15 December 2025 Best wishes ! 15 December 2025 Strategic acquisition in the world of custom packaging Show all news Facebook Twitter Youtube Share this article
