Brand vibe
Hegid is the rare French maison that turned an engineering problem into a love language. Founded in 2016 by Henrick Gauché — a former Louis Vuitton executive who fell for watchmaking on a factory visit — and patented two years later, the brand's EVOL system lets owners swap the capsule (the entire movement + dial sandwich) into a different case in seconds, no tools required. The result is a wardrobe of watches that grow with you: a steel sport case at the office, the same movement slipped into a gold capsule for the wedding, a desert-bronze case for the weekend. Designed, machined, and assembled in France, Hegid sits in the strange in-between of high-end indie and modular toy, and the more time you spend with it the more the gimmick reveals itself as a quiet rebellion against the disposable.

Sourcing & Build
Community verifiedSourcing Notes: Cases, capsules and bracelets are manufactured in France with Swiss automatic movements (typically Soprod or Sellita base calibers, varying by capsule). Assembly and final regulation happen in the brand's Paris atelier. The patented EVOL fastening system is engineered in-house.

⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
EU framework deal paused after SCOTUS ruling. Currently flat 10% Section 122. [Note as of June 17, 2026: USTR has proposed new Section 301 forced-labor tariffs (~10–12.5%) that, if enacted, would stack on top of current rates. Still in public-comment phase.]
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
