Valor

The Legacy of LUXEAR

Thomas walked away from his role as head of design at a luxury
watch house, driven by a quiet frustration: the world’s finest timepieces were
celebrated as ‘wearable art,’ but high-end in-ears monitors for experiencing
music, one of life’s greatest pleasures-were reduced to cold specs and flashy
logos. ‘Sound deserves the same reverence as a hand-engraved dial,’ he wonder.

The thought sparked a three-year odyssey. Thomas traveled to
Italy to source vegetable-tanned calfskin for the IEM easings, each piece
hand-stitched by leatherworker’s studio. To Japan, where he collaborated with a
70-year-old artisan to craft ceramic sound chambers, that preserved the warmth
of acoustic music like no plastic could. To German, where he worked with a
precision engineer to develop a 10mm driver so delicate, it took 12hours to
calibrate by hand.

CraftingIn-Ears as Timeless Art

For two years, Thomas existed only as a
rumor in elite music circles: a few composers, singers, and art collectors
heard early samples, whispering about ‘sound that feels like silk on the ears.’

Valor was Thomas’s first officially
launched in-ear monitor, and he also founded the LUXEAR at the same time.

Today, LUXEAR still makes only 5,000 pairs
a year. Every in-ear is touched by 9 artisans over 20 days; every leather
casing is broken in by hand. For LUXEAR, in-ears aren’t tech. They’re
heirlooms: something to pass down, like a vintage watch or a well-loved book,
because great sound, like great art, should stand the test of time.
