Roamer Watches

Roamer are a much respected name in Swiss watchmaking and they have been around for a long time. Over the last few years they have undergone a makeover to bring the brand into the modern day. The result of Roamer's makeover is a modern, forward thinking company who have a firm root in the tradition of quality Swiss watchmaking. Brand History Roamer were founded by Fritz Meyer in 1888 to create cylinder escapements for the watch industry. The company started with 7 employees but by 1895 they had grown to 60 employees and they started producing complete watches. In 1905 Fritz Meyer entered into a partnership with Johann Stüdeli and they developed the MST movement which gained a reputation for high precision and reliability. Roamer won awards at a number of World Fairs and the company continued to grow, employing 1,200 people by 1940. In the 1950's Roamer introduced a watertight case. The Roamer Anfibio line was launched in the same decade, which gained a worldwide reputation for exceptional quality, durability and reliability - this reputation is still intact today. Strong Tradition Roamer maintain a strong link to their history and tradition, the current company headquarters is located 5 minutes away from the original headquarters. This strong link is displayed throughout the Roamer watch range. The current range of Roamer watches is modern while maintaining a strong traditional link.

Even the highest priced watches in the range are incredible value, with the Roamer Gents Searock Automatic watch providing incredible style and sophistication alongside water resistance, date display and automatic movement. All of the watches in the range come with a 5 year guarantee, which is something many other watch manufacturers don't offer.
