Brand vibe

Yvan Arpa founded it in Geneva in 2009 and calls it a "Manufacture of Emotions," which in practice means dials made from real butterfly wings, meteorite, tobacco leaf, natural pigment and spent .357 casings - many of them hand-created by his wife, the artist Dominique Arpa-Cirpka. Many pieces are one-of-one and complications are usually price on request.

Movements

Sourcing Notes: ArtyA describes its movements as designed and manufactured in-house in Geneva, including flying tourbillons, minute repeaters and the COSC-certified Aion/ArtyOn automatic launched around 2018. The A17 automatic used across the steel Son of a Gun and Son of Earth pieces is described as Swiss and in-house modified, but the base ebauche maker is not disclosed. The Judge Tourbillon openly uses a Concepto tourbillon module. Sapphire cases, including the two-tone-in-the-mass NanoSaphir process, are a house specialty, though the sapphire blank supplier is not named. Dial art is credited to Dominique Arpa-Cirpka. Hands and lume suppliers are not disclosed.

Not enough information for a duty figure

The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
