When the co-founders of Corum, Simone Ries and René Bannwart, joined Gaston Ries' watchmaking workshops, they knew that their new firm would benefit from this solid experience. Their alliance quickly established creativity and traditional craftsmanship as the order of the day. Guided by its own enthusiasm, this young company has made great efforts to establish a reputation to match it ambition. The results speak for themselves: a very effective publicity campaign and successful sponsorship program demonstrate Corum's desire to be at the helm and not in the wake.about Eberhard For more then a 100 years, Eberhard & Co. has been designing professional premium quality wrist watches. By placing a special emphasis in accuracy and performance, Eberhard watches have earned a world renowned name for both the chronograph and the chronometer. A youthful watch maker by the name of Georges-Emile Eberhard opened a Eberhard watch making shop in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1887. The mechanical quality and luxurious beauty of the Eberhard pocket watches gave him a good reputation among some of the most scrupulous watch collectors during that time. Eberhard & Co. turned into a family run business when Georges-Emiles sons followed the same footsteps their father walked. choose a collection * Scafodat 500 * 120th anniversary * Chrono 4 * Extra-Fort * Tazio Nuvolari * Traversetolo * Replica * Aquadate * 8 Jours * Chrono 4 Temerario * View All Watches Seiko Ananta Watches SEIKO Ananta is an exclusive collection of luxury timepieces with Spring Drive and high-grade mechanical movements, targeted at those who truly understand and appreciate fine watchmaking.

The first model of ladies TechnoMarine watches was produced and launched an entirely new genre. Revolutionizing the market, a product was born of a never before conceived and almost "sacrilegious" association between plastic and diamonds. Technomarine has formed a niche in which fun and sophistication commingle. TechnoMarine watches are a revolutionary concept in a mostly conservative industry. men * Cruise Diamond * Cruise & Cruise Chrono * Moonsun Magnum & Jubilee * Moonsun Ceramic Chrono & Diamond * Neo Classic Chrono * US Navy & RoyalMarine * UF6 * Black Watch * Straps and Bracelets ladies * Cruise Diamond * Cruise & Cruise Chrono * Moonsun Magnum & Jubilee * Moonsun Ceramic Chrono & Diamond * Neo Classic Chrono * US Navy & RoyalMarine * UF6 * Straps and Bracelets about Bremont Bremont Watches Bremont has set itself a clear objective: both through consistent preservation of the long tradition of the Swiss watchmaking art and meeting its high standards, as well as creating, with its very own, innovative complications and movement developments, contemporary design and a heightened passion for detail and perfection. Although Bremont watches are made using only fine-quality Swiss components and are hand-assembled by the best watchmakers working from a dedicated atelier in Biel-Bienne, they contain something which no comparable timepiece can match - an air of quintessential Britishness which is derived from the background of the brand's founders, the brothers Nick and Giles English. choose a collection * ALT1-C * ALT1-Z * ALT1-P * BC-S1 * BC-S2 * BC-F1 * SuperMarine 500 * Limited Editions * Martin Baker MBII * Straps and Bracelets * View All Watches * Limited Editions * Coming Soon * Latest Watches * Sale Watches knowledge * Brand Guides * Featured Articles * Watch Glossary * Watch Care * Watch Videos customer services
