Wittnauer Watch

Wittnauer Watches were started by Albert Wittnaeur who was only 16 when he arrived in New York from Switzerland in 1872. Albert soon realized the need for a watch expressly designed for the growing US market and in 1880 a line of watches was manufactured in Geneva for the American company with all the functions and durability demanded by the American consumer. Designed from the start to apply exquisite Swiss craftsmanship to the challenges of American life, Wittnauer watches has, for over 120 years, been America's own Swiss watch.

Design innovation, performance, and durability soon accelerated the Wittnauer to quickly became a favorite of navigators, astronomers, geographers and explorers. In 1918, after being dropped from airplanes, thrown from the Empire State Building and subject to the rigors of both the Amazon and Himalayas, the Wittnauer Watches All-Proof debuted as the first waterproof, shock-proof and anti-magnetic watch in the world. In 1916, Martha Wittnauer , Albert's sister, took control of the business, heading the company for the next 20 years.

Today's Wittnauer watch still maintains the original classic tradition of creativity and excellence. In addition a comprehensive two-year warranty is included to ensure superior performance. Swiss craftsmanship is still available to the most discerning US consumers. To date Wittnauer still maintains headquarters in New York. Wittnauer presents elegance and precision with an unmistakably American accent.
