Suspension System

Since the beginning of Formex in 1999, the patented Case Suspension System has been an integral part of every single Formex timepiece. Its two main functions are:

  • absorbs shocks to protect the mechanical movement from heavy impacts
  • adds to the comfort on the wrist by adapting to the wearer’s movements

Modeled with high-performance bikes and racing cars in mind, the Formex patented case suspension system works by integrating four springs between the upper and lower watch case. The result is the ultimate shock absorption system designed to protect the mechanical movement and deliver unparalleled comfort to the wearer.

This patented case suspension system brings form and function together for Formex Swiss watches. It’s functional, it’s state of the art engineering and it’s unquestionably unique - all in one watch.

FINE-ADJUSTMENT CLASP

This in-house developed folding clasp is made of injected carbon fiber composite on a stainless steel or titanium buckle. It features a patented gradual 7mm fine-adjustment system that allows to micro adjust the length of the strap without taking off the watch. As our wrists change size during the day and in different temperatures, this system gives a bespoke fit no matter the conditions, improving the comfort and fit on the wrist.

IN THE PRESS


"The Formex Element has shifted my perspective of many watches I own and review. It’s that good." Joshua Clare-Flagg, Owner of WIAA
"Great value to price ratio. Formex gets a lot of the little details right, and the case suspension system is genuinely cool." Ariel Adams, Founder of ablogtowatch.com
"I wore it on a recent business trip. When I took it off at airport security, the guy said to put it in a pocket as “You wouldn’t want something that nice to go missing at the other end”. I’ve had Rolex go through those scanners in plain sight previously…". Tony Villa, Owner of WatchThoughts
"In terms of price the Formex Element is a mechanical chronograph at entry level, however with regard to all the features the watch is packed with my conclusion is that this extremely well executed Formex watch is worth its money. I tend to say the Formex Element is a bargain." Mike Stuffler, Moderator at large
"There are so many little details that I found myself gushing over both personally as a watch nut enthusiast and professionally as a watch reviewer/blogger." Stephen Mazinger, Owner of TimeToBlogWatches
