Discover Our Swiss Made Watches

Many individuals appreciate Swiss Made watches for their precision mechanical movements, which carry on a traditional approach to timekeeping that has been around for multiple centuries. We agree that a fully mechanical movement represents the true heart of watchmaking, but we also believe that wristwatches can benefit from modern high-performance materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. Carbon fiber case and clasp components allow for ultra-lightweight structures with incredible durability, while ceramic bezels and sapphire crystals offer unparalleled levels of scratch resistance.

Why Swiss Made Watches?

For generations, Switzerland has been regarded as the luxury watch capital of the world, and Swiss Made watches have a reputation for being some of the finest timepieces on Earth. Mechanical watch movements can often consist of dozens or even hundreds of different components that all must work together in perfect harmony in order for a watch to properly function. Since the 16th century, Switzerland has developed an industry-leading expertise in every aspect of timepiece production. In addition to the famous Swiss watch brands themselves, Switzerland is also home to numerous other companies that specialize in the manufacturing and finishing of various individual components that get used by other brands throughout the rest of the luxury watch industry.

Formex Watch SA is a Swiss-owned business with headquarters located in Switzerland’s legendary watch city of Biel/Bienne. All Formex watches are designed, developed, and assembled in-house, and each one features an expertly-crafted dial that is produced entirely in-house by Formex’s very own dial manufacture that is located in the Jura mountains of Switzerland. Each Formex watch proudly features the words “Swiss Made” inscribed upon it, which signifies our everlasting commitment to tradition, precision engineering, and the pursuit of perfection that defines the Swiss watch industry.

COSC Chronometer Certified Performance

When it comes to precision timekeeping, the gold-standard is COSC Chronometer Certification. The Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) is the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute that serves as an independent governing body responsible for certifying the accuracy and precision of Swiss Made watches. Only attainable by movements of the very highest quality that are capable of passing a meticulous 15-day series of tests, the “Chronometer” designation signifies that the individual caliber is capable of achieving the very highest standards of mechanical reliability and timekeeping precision.

Many Formex Swiss Made watches are powered by COSC Chronometer-Certified movements, which guarantees that each one offers the very highest levels of accuracy and performance within the Swiss watch industry. Only about 6% of all the timepieces produced in Switzerland receive the prestigious title of being COSC-Certified Chronometers, and these wristwatches represent some of the most accurate and reliable mechanical timekeeping devices in the entire world.
