World Archiver Foundation is revolutionizing patronage by creating 'Millésimes of the Planet': technological art objects containing thousands of hours of footage of the world's most beautiful sites

Each Millésime acquisition directly funds UNESCO to preserve endangered world heritage.

A world first at the crossroads of art, luxury and altruism, to protect our planet.

World heritage

Machu Picchu at sunrise. The Norwegian fjords in their icy splendor. Angkor Wat veiled in golden mist.

The Millésime 2020 contains these visual treasures: thousands of hours captured by the world's finest filmmakers. Like a grand cru crafted from the finest grapes of the Earth vineyard, this Millésime captures the very essence of our planet during this unique period.

Endangered world heritage

These images reveal a disturbing truth: our world heritage is in peril.

The Galápagos Islands weakened. The forests of Sumatra decimated. Venice engulfed by the waters.

Today, more than 50 UNESCO sites are on the World Heritage in Danger List. This beauty risks disappearing forever if we do not act.

Our Answer

Faced with this reality, we envisioned...

From 2015 to 2020, our filmmakers crisscrossed the world, equipped with the most advanced technologies, such as next-generation drones and cutting-edge cameras. Each shot becomes a work of art.

The Millésime

Once captured, the footage was refined with the precision of a master craftsman: meticulous color grading, refined colorimetry, cinematic audio mixing.

In parallel, our designers drew inspiration from the timeless principles of Swiss fine watchmaking to conceive the Millésime 2020 with enduring lines and noble materials.

A powerful algorithm continuously creates new visual experiences from thousands of hours of footage. Simply connect the Millésime to any screen via HDMI, and let it transport you across the planet. Every time you watch, the journey is different.

In our Swiss workshops, master watchmakers, cabinetmakers and engineers unite their expertise to bring the Millésime 2020 to life. Inspired by the dimensions of a grand cru, it is crafted to last for centuries.

Five years have been required since 2020 to conceptualize, create and perfect the Millésime 2020 concealed within this box...

On November 14, 2025, at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, the Millésime 2020 was unveiled before privileged guests.
