Brief History of Andre Rivalle Watches

Armin Kauffman, an immigrant from Hungary migrated to USA in 1950. He acquired E.Gluck Trading Company in 1967.

Through Gluck, he made watches in Switzerland that sold in US retail markets in the $10 to $50 price range under the Sutton, Chateau, Precision, Adventura, and Andre Rivalle labels.

In 1975, digital watches with price tags ranging from $100-$ 150 were introduced under the Armitron and Quasar label. These electronic watches were Armins first attempt at manufacturing the timekeeping parts of watches itself
