Waltham has never been inspired by history Waltham is a part of history. Waltham offers Wristwatches of superior quality, with a mixture of unusual and advanced technological materials and a distinctive angular design, new icons of the contemporary luxury for men. The brand’s mission is to produce high-tech, cutting-edge, Swiss wristwatches that will instill today’s men with the courage to choose and dare to follow their convictions. The Top Gun Pilots used Waltham on board of their Phantoms, like the heroes of the Allied Armed Forces, accompanied by Waltham in their epic endeavors at sea, on land and in the air. Shackleton had a Waltham when he conquered the South Pole, as did Peary when he first reached the North Pole. Lindbergh, when crossed the Atlantic with a Waltham. The same values that fuelled the avant-garde spirit of all those men that have been key figures of the most audacious endeavors of the last 160 years. Precision, Innovation, Nonconformity: the values that have guided Waltham since its beginnings. Strategic partnerships with top manufacturers in the industry and an R&D division based in La Neuveville/Neuchâtel allow Waltham to launch its first brand-new collection of wristwatches inspired by its history in the aero-naval sector. Waltham International SA has established offices in Lugano, Milan and New York City. The same bravery that drove the innovative and unconventional spirits of the legendary men who, with a Waltham, were key figures in the greatest achievements of the past 160 years. With vast experience in the world of luxury and jewelry and a passion for timepieces, it is Antonio’s mission to deliver the Waltham brand back to its former glory and create high-tech, cutting-edge wrist watches that will “instill today’s men with the courage to choose and dare to follow their convictions”.
