Its elliptical shape results from an advanced study of the anatomy of the wrist and specifically the oval zone on which the wristwatch rests. Self-winding movement. Monocoque case, hermetically sealed crystal assuring water-resistance to 30 m. Dial in harmony with the decidedly functional look of the watch for easy legibility of the hour, the minute and the second thanks to concentric time "zones" and contrasting coloured hands. A new look to the bracelet too: a single piece screw-in into a circular groove under the case by a steel ring; cut in Corfam, a porous synthetic material pierced with 30 aerating holes; widened near the case to fit firmly and comfortably on the wrist. Crown integrated to the case in order not to break the aerodynamic line which inspired this famous model's name.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SILVANA WATCHES

The Silvana watch brand name can be traced back to the 19th Century, founded in 1868. The "Association Cantonale Bernoise de Fabricants d'Horlogerie" stated that Silvana envolved from the split of the A. Reymond S.A., Tramelan. The Manufacture d'Horlogerie A. Reymond S.A. was founded in 1898. Therefore the first Silvana watches were made already in the 19th Century. A remarkable fact which places Silvana among the oldest Swiss watch brands.

The registration of the watch factory Silvana S.A. took place on 24 May 1923 in the Commercial Registry of Courtelary, domiciled in Tramelan. At that time the company employed approximately 70 people. In the same year the Silvana factory was admitted to the "Association Cantonale Bernoise des Fabricants d'Horlogerie" as an independent member.

In 1929 Silvana merged with the traditional and then famous watch factory H. Gasser & Co. from Bienne and on 17 February 1931, Silvana S.A. moved their offices and production to Bienne. Until 1935, Silvana watches were produced at H. Gasser & Co.

On 27 December 1935, Silvana transferred their activities back to their origins to the charming village of Tramelan in the Swiss Jura. Between 1936 and 1969, the watch factory Silvana S.A. developed continously and in the 1960's business expanded gradually and turnover increased year over year.

Silvana's markets were not only restricted to Europe, Silvana products were very popular also in South America, in the Middle East and the Caribbean. Both the distribution and sales were organized out of the company's own offices in Bienne.

Silvana was very successful with their lines of pocket watches during 1940 - 1970, with motifs such as "La Montre Paysan", "La Montre Chasseur" or the special edition "Chemin de Fer Turc" graved on the back of the watch. A special diving watch was very well sold in South America and the Caribbean during the 1960's.

In 1969 the owner of the watch factory Silvana S.A. joined with an industrialist from Neuchâtel, who aready possessed the brands "Avia", "Helvetia" and "Fleurier Watch". This cooperation resulted in the firm Avia & Silvana S.A., which soon thereafter was integrated into the holding company of the Societe des Garde-Temps S.A. SGT, a conglomerate, which, besides owning various prestigious watch brands, ran subsidiaries in Switzerland and abroad and wrote turnovers of over 100 million Swiss Francs per year.

In July of 1982, SGT sold the brand Silvana to a commercial firm in Bienne and on 27 February 1992, Silvana AG was founded and registered in the Commercial Registry of Zurich. It is through the guidance of this company, that the spirit of a century old craftsmanship, honouring the high quality standards of famous Swiss watchmaking will lead the Silvana brand to new heights.

BRIEF HISTORY OF MILUS WRISTWATCH

Under the name of Milus International SA, the Milus watch brand is entering a new era. Boosted by the arrival of the Peace-Mark group (new investors with headquarters in Hong Kong), it plans to gain a firm foothold in the luxury segment. CEO Jan Edöcs and his team are currently working, at the firm's head office in Biel, on the launch of collections with an innovative design. They will take their first steps on the international stage next spring at the Basle International Watchmaking and Jewellery Exhibition.

The Milus brand remains committed to purity of shape and meticulous finishing, following the example of Paul Junod, designer of the third generation, who has remained loyal to the company. The price of the new gold and steel lines will be in a range not exceeding 10,000 francs. Special models, in platinum or set with diamonds, will be available at prices varying between 100,000 and 250,000 francs. Heirs to a history of Milus Paul Junod SA watches that dates back some 80 years, the new watch lines will be clearly identifiable as Milus models. Combining contemporary elegance with smooth, rounded profiles, these timepieces are aimed at elegant women who find an element of creative surprise to their taste.

Jan Edöcs, a 31-year-old who started his career with the Swatch Group, is aiming to achieve durable growth for the new company. Speaking of this new challenge, he said: "We are proud of our new lines and are convinced that we are on the threshold of a new era. With the heritage of the Milus brand, we can now really make our mark."

BRIEF HISTORY OF LANCO WRISTWATCH

Langendorf Watch Company was a Swiss watchmaker known for its fine craftsmanship and great attention to detail. Around 1890, it was probably the largest producer of watches in the world. The company produced watches in Langendorf, Switzerland for exactly a century, from 1873 to 1973. The most famous brand of the company was Lanco (an abbreviation of Langendorf Watch Company) that was launched as a brand name in the late 1950s. The brand was discontinued in the late 1960s, and revived again from 1971 to around 1980. Lanco The "Lanco" brand was launched in the late 1950s. It soon became successful and known for fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Lanco watches are still considered to be of very high quality, and they are traded today as vintage watches. A number of Lanco watches are famous, such as the "Flying Saucer" or the "Lanco-Fon", a manual-wound watch with an alarm function that was released in the 1960s. When Lanco was revived in the 1970s, more variety was added to the product line. It became a brand with room for innovation and experimentation, including into digital watches. Many of the 1970s watches were relatively large sized for their time and this make them sought-after today. Watches from the 1970s such as "Club 77" and "Jump Hour" are also still quite popular. After 1973, a number of movements from other suppliers were used for Lanco chronographs, the most famous calibers stemming from Valjoux and Angelus. A Lanco watch with the futuristic Tissot Astrolon movement (caliber 2250) was also produced in the 1970s. During SSIH's financial problems in 1981, the Lanco brand name was sold. As of 2012, it appears that new watches are being sold in South Africa with the name Lanco by S. Bacher & Company, but probably without relation to the Langendorf Watch Company. After a merger with fellow Swiss luxury watch brand, Tissot in 1930, SSIH (Société suisse pour l'industrie horlogère) in Geneva, Switzerland was created as the new parent company of the newly merged watch companies. Fortunately, the merger between Tissot and Omega was a big success, which is why in a relatively short time the SSIH group grew to over fifty other companies including Lemania, Lanco and Hamilton. And in a relatively short period of time, the SSIH group has managed to position themselves as the third largest producer of luxury watches, as well as watch movements in the world.

It was during this time when SSIH produced a number of its most loved time pieces. Vintage Lanco watches that are still highly sought and are famous to this day.

During the Second World War, Lanco built a solid reputation for themselves by coming out with military and pilot watches for servicemen. They have always been known for their fine craftsmanship and their great attention to detail. Other popular watches from that era were the Lanco Fleightchrono, the Lanco Seamarine waterproof sports watch and the Lanco Fonalarm watches, which are all still incredibly popular.

During an economic downturn in 1980, Lanco found itself once again merging with another Swiss watch giant - ASUAG, which manufactures and produces other popular Swiss watches such as Swatch, Longines and Rado. The new company that emerged from this merger was called the ASUAG-SSIH company.

BRIEF HISTORY OF AVIA WRISTWATCHES
AVIA was first registered as a brand in Switzerland in 1910. Until that point, timekeeping was primarily based around pocket or fob watches. AVIA became an innovator in the development of the wristwatch, a great technical advancement. The Swiss were justifiably proud of their lead in the manufacture of mechanical
watches, and AVIA was one of the Swiss brands that pioneered the development of the quartz watch during the next technical evolution: the electronic era in the 1970s.

The manufacturing principles at AVIA have always been to produce the highest quality at prices that are accessible to the general public. Since 2001, AVIA has belonged to the Fossil Group, a global and multi-channel business that features the Fossil brand. It sources components from around the world, and is one of the world leaders in the design and manufacture of quality fashion watches.

Jughans MEGA

The company is located in Schramberg, Baden-Wuttenberg. On 15 April 1861 Erhard Junghans created the company „Junghans und Tobler“ together with his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler in Schramberg
The company began to produce wristwatches in 1927. Beginning in the 1950s, the virtuoso designer Max Bill created clocks and watches for Junghans and the relationship lasted many years. A remarkable example of his work is a wall clock he designed in 1956/57 that is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art (New York). In 1962 Bill also created mechanical wristwatches for Junghans – impressive timepieces, not only for their aesthetic design, but also their precision.
In the late 1980s, Junghans introduced the first radio-controlled table clock on the world market. In 1990, the first radio-controlled wristwatch followed, called the MEGA 1. In 1995 Junghans presented the ultimate combination of the solar powered watch with ceramic housing and solar-powered technology. Currently, Junghans is developing with the Japanese clock maker Seiko a globally oriented wristwatch, which automatically sets the local time in respective time zones.
Junghans is a well-known brand in Europe
