About Tégrégé
Tégrégé is a private technology and design project launched in 2011 in Neuchâtel by inventor and CEO Chantal Aubort Jaccard. The company develops a patented portable watch instrument (personal watch instrument) that for the first time measures the subjectively perceived time of humans and, alongside the conventional hours, minutes and seconds, displays a dedicated indicator, the Hengram®. The technology is based on embedded-systems technologies with hybrid and quantum-encrypted data processing; the method is protected by the European patent EP3059644, and trademarks have also been registered. The R&D collaboration is carried out with the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) at EPFL headed by David Atienza Alonso, supported by an Innosuisse project. According to the website, the first limited series is in production; each piece is positioned as a unique work of art in the luxury segment. Fields of application lie in the watch industry, in MedTech wearables, in neuroscience research as well as in the areas of preventive medicine and Art bio-temporel.
