Formex at selected Local Partners

Buying a new watch should be fun and a rewarding experience. However, selecting the right one for you is not always easy - that's why we created the virtual Formex Try-On App and offer a free 30-day return and refund policy. We now also offer the possibility to buy Formex watches from hand-selected trusted dealers at the same conditions.

In the course of our growth, we are expanding our network of Formex-enthusiastic partners who carry a Formex collection in their stores. All selected partners are independent entrepreneurs and watch enthusiasts like us, and we know them personally. Our partners and we are looking forward to your visit and are excited to help you find your perfect wrist companion.

Arizona Fine Time, based in Scottsdale and family owned and operated since 1960, is our very first physical retail partner in the USA. Their owner, Mitchel Hirsh, has been introduced to us by a mutual industry friend. We then met the team at the Windup Watch Fair NYC in 2022 and received their first, initial order just a couple of days later. Arizona Fine Time has been one of the first watch retailers who adapted to the changing environment in the watch retail business. Along with their traditional, physical store, they now also run a successful e-commerce store. We’re really excited to embark on this journey together. If you are in the Scottsdale area, make sure to visit them.

Collective Horology was founded in 2018 by two watch California based watch enthusiasts. By purchasing one of their collective watches with brands such as Urwerk and H. Moser, owners become members of Collective. We met Asher and Gabe at a watch exhibition in Chicago in 2022 and we immediately clicked, both on a personal and professional level.

Since joining the family business in 1992, Simon D. Porter quickly developed a deep passion for watches and the wider world of horology. As an independent, family-run business, they always believed in supporting fellow independent brands who share their values and commitment to craftsmanship. In 2022, they took an exciting step forward by opening a dedicated watch boutique, now home to over 30 brands - most of which are proudly independent, just like them. Over the past decade, James Porter & Son has witnessed remarkable growth in the local watch community, and they are proud to be at the heart of it. Their boutique regularly hosts exclusive brand showcases and special events, including first looks at limited-edition timepieces. The partnership with Formex felt like a natural fit. The focus on quality, innovation, and customer experience mirrors their own philosophy, and the fully independent status only strengthens the connection.

It’s a niche that is highly respected among watch enthusiasts in Israel. Understanding the spirit of the times and listening to his customers has led Mr. Marom to look for an independent watch brand in Switzerland that has a lot to offer in an affordable price range. An in-depth study of the watchmaker’s landscape brought him to us. The range of timepieces at the Limited Edition Boutique is unique and now comes with a selection of Formex watches.

As the place for the real watch enthusiasts in Ukraine, THEWATCH team is constantly trying to find something unique and interesting. When we first saw Formex, we were really impressed with watches - it seems that every aspect is about creating a better wearing experience. With some help from our mutual friend we got in contact with Markus and Raphael. It is really hard to find a watch brand with as much attention to the details as we see it in Formex - exquisite dials, nicely done bracelets, comfortable clasps and all this for a reasonable price. And it is fun to exchange the bezels and straps this easy. Formex has everything watch enthusiasts dream of and is the best value for money Swiss Made watch.

Lewis is a Formex fan first. His wife caught him eying the Essence 39 mm for a while and gifted him the watch for his birthday. It wasn’t until we reached out to him, asking if he wanted to check out some loaner watches we had in Australia that we started to talk business. Together with his dad, Paul (now a proud owner of an Essence 39 mm himself), two generations of luxury watch enthusiasts are running a successful online and physical retail watch store that focuses on pre-owned big brand watches, and an interesting mix of independent brands that they feel very passionate about.

We've known WatchGecko for some time now, but when their author Richard reached out to us in summer 2020, there was no holding back. He was genuinely interested in learning more about the brand and we've sent him a loaner watch, the Essence Leggera Electric Blue. It's a love story from that point. When we sent a REEF loaner watch early 2021, Richard went for the title 'This archetypal modern dive watch is showing the big boys how it's done...'. After meeting Jon, Founder of WatchGecko, at the WorldTime UK watch fair this year, we knew that our brands are a perfect fit.

Worn & Wound started with the simple premise of spotlighting the accessible and indie brands that others ignored back in 2011, as that's what we were most passionate about. Over the years, we've expanded our coverage to span the industry and closely related topics, like EDC. We've created the premier in-person watch enthusiast event series, the Windup Watch Fair, which includes the largest watch fair in the world. We also curated an enthusiast retail experience, the Windup Watch Shop. Our newest venture is the Windup Watch Shop Showroom in Brooklyn, bringing that curated collection into the physical world for our audience and customers to experience watches that are often hard to see in person, and purchase them, if so desired. Formex is a perfect fit for our selection as they are a unique and innovative brand that focuses on design, quality, and value. Speaking to those points, their designs always stand out, not being based solely on current trends. Their quality is superb, featuring exceptional finishing and uncommon features, such as their suspension case and carbon fiber deployant clasp with micro adjustment. Yet, despite the outstanding features, as well as chronometer-grade movements, Formex's watches maintain an approachable price point.
