The birth of the Rally Timer I

The Rally Timer I was produced in 2014 as a completely in-house development. This exclusive chronograph is specially designed for target time tests in rally sport. The unique arrangement of the crown and the two colored pushers on the upper edge of the case is reminiscent of classic stopwatches. With a robust stainless steel case, precise movement and Superluminova dial, it offers maximum functionality and a sporty design.
2017 :

Pioneering work in bronze – unique cases are created

In 2017, different materials were tested for the first time, which led to the creation of unique bronze cases. These bronze watches develop an individual patina over time, making each watch unmistakably unique. With a diameter of 41 mm, sapphire glass and luminous Superluminova elements, the Bronze Chrono impresses in terms of functionality and design. The look is rounded off by a vintage leather strap that underlines the special character of these timepieces.
