Nathy Temim Pinto: From a Passion for Watches to Hôtel Perpetual

Some professional ventures are born from opportunity.

Others are born from a lifelong passion.

Hôtel Perpetual undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

Behind this distinctive Parisian address is Nathy Temim Pinto, founder and owner of Hôtel Perpetual, whose passion for fine watchmaking began in childhood.

A Passion That Began at an Early Age

Nathy Temim Pinto recalls developing her passion for watches at just eight years old.

Over the years, this early curiosity grew into a deep appreciation and knowledge of fine watchmaking, along with a personal watch collection.

When she ventured into the world of hospitality, leaving this passion behind was never an option.

Instead, she chose to make it an integral part of her new project.

Envisioning a Different Kind of Hotel

Le Perpetual was born from the meeting of two passions: hospitality and fine watchmaking.

The idea was never to create a watch boutique or a museum.

Instead, the vision was to establish a genuine boutique hotel whose identity would be naturally inspired by the world of fine timepieces.

This philosophy is reflected in the hotel's name, interior design and the various spaces throughout the property.

A Subtle and Understated Identity

Understated elegance is central to the concept.

Le Perpetual does not seek to recreate the interior of a traditional watchmaking manufacture.

Instead, its inspiration is expressed through carefully considered details: materials, architectural lines, decorative objects, subtle references to watch dials and the distinctive vocabulary used throughout the hotel.

This approach allows Le Perpetual to appeal equally to passionate watch enthusiasts and travelers simply discovering the hotel for the first time.

A Place to Share a Passion

One of Nathy Temim Pinto’s ambitions is also to create a place where watch enthusiasts can come together.

Le Perpetual therefore hosts watchmaking events and gatherings featuring independent watchmakers and creators.

L’Atelier des Tocantes, Anoma and Dialicious were among the first gatherings highlighted by Le Figaro.

These events bring a genuine sense of community to the project.

A watch becomes the starting point for a conversation.

A Story Beyond the Hotel

This distinctive vision quickly attracted media attention.

Le Figaro, Montres Magazine, Bilanz and Montres-de-Luxe.com have all published articles about Le Perpetual and its founder.

In 2025, Nathy Temim Pinto also appeared on Time to Talk, a programme broadcast on B Smart and dedicated to the watchmaking industry.

Filmed at Le Perpetual, the programme explored the origins of the project and the ambition to give the hotel an authentic watchmaking identity.

Time as a Guiding Philosophy

Ultimately, Le Perpetual represents the meeting of two professions that share the same commitment to excellence.

Watchmaking demands precision.

Hospitality demands attentiveness.

What connects them is a shared dedication to detail.

It is this philosophy that defines Le Perpetual’s identity today.
