Changing the definition
The Galet is a new way of thinking about personal technology. Like a designer watch or a luxury pen, the Galet is an essential accessory.
                            
Hand-crafted in France, each piece is individually plated with silver through Christofle’s 150 year-old silvering process. Then it is inspected for a smooth finish and radiant polish, which guarantees its excellence. The Galet is assembled and hand-packed in a gift box at LaCie’s factory in Paris, ensuring each Galet represents the finest presentation and quality. Once the process is complete, the result is a gift that will bring convenience and luxury to one’s daily life.

The Galet’s pebble shape easily fits into your life – in your pocket, on your key chain, or even around your neck – so you can take it with you wherever you go.
