Momentia


At the heart of our journey, time is art — shaped by feeling.
It does not tick the same for all: in joy, it stretches like golden honey; in fear, it contracts like a clenched fist.
Absorbed in passion, hours dissolve into air; waiting, seconds swell into lifetimes. This is not illusion — it is perception, sculpted by attention, emotion, presence.
Psychologists call it temporal distortion; neuroscientists trace it to dopamine and amygdala; philosophers like Bergson named it duration — lived, qualitative, never measured.


MOMENTIA is born from this truth:


Time is three-dimensional — an inner landscape.


Each moment becomes emotion. Memory. Breath.

MOMENTIA does not count time. It dresses it.


A silent companion to your pauses, your impulses, your most sacred instants.


David Cottier-Angeli — The Art of Fashion Jewellery Reimagined.

A spark from the past is reborn.

From grandfather Cottier — pioneer of horological innovation — and mother Angeli d’Assisi, steeped in Etruscan bronzes and classical beauty — emerges a dual heritage: honed time, and living art.

Trained at Piaget in Swiss haute joaillerie — where metal, gem, and gesture must unite without flaw — I ventured deeper: into archaeometallurgy. There, I reconstructed ancient Etruscan granulation and patination — directly from artefacts of Tuscany and Umbria (Cottier-Angeli, 2018). Lost for millennia, these techniques now breathe again — on custom alloys and patinas — evoking antiquity’s depth, warmth, and quiet elegance.

Designed for those who seek the exceptional — not in fashion, but in the soul of the gesture — each creation is a dialogue: poetry, tradition, bold modernity.
