A Swiss History

Rotary watches were first manufactured in 1895. Under the guidance and expertise of Moise Dreyfuss, the Rotary brand was launched in La Chaux de Fonds, a small Swiss town. Although initially only a few watches were manufactured at the time, they almost instantly gained an audience consisting of dedicated fans and watchmakers alike.

Rotary became quite famous for their ability to mix the old with the new. They did not seek to reinvent the wheel, but to modernise it in such a way that the old techniques perfectly complement any new additions. Moise Dreyfuss was utterly dedicated to the craft of watchmaking and it showed with his precise services and his immense attention to detail.

Just 12 years after the company was founded, it was a massive success and it saw the launching of its first UK based office.

By 1925, the company had been passed into the hands of Teddy Dreyfuss and he took the company into the new era of watchmaking. He embraced marketing, and along with his introduction of new designs, he also made sure that the company name was spread far and wide.

The company is rather proud of its heritage and each of their watch collections have a story behind them. Given the long history of the company, the collections they manufacture are a representation of how watch manufacturing has changed over the years.

Today, Rotary Watches are for sale in 65 countries and the brand positions itself as an affordable but stylish watch company. The brand remains a classic and every watch collector should invest in a Rotary Watch.
