Why Swiss Watches?
The phrase “Swiss made” is more than a label, it’s a guarantee of quality. Swiss watchmakers are known worldwide for their dedication to precision engineering, mechanical innovation, and traditional artistry. A Swiss watch is not just a timekeeper, it’s a statement, an heirloom, and a lifetime investment.
Explore Swiss Watches at Galio
At Galio Jewellers, we pride ourselves on offering a curated range of Swiss watches, each selected for its unique appeal and craftsmanship. Here’s a closer look at the standout brands you’ll find in-store and online:
Bell & Ross: Built for Performance
Although founded in Paris by French designers, their manufacturing and assembly are done in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, adhering to Swiss watchmaking traditions. Combining Swiss engineering with a strong aviation influence, Bell & Ross watches are made for those who appreciate high-performance design. Known for their signature square cases and instrument-style dials, these timepieces are both bold and functional.
Popular models like the BR 05 and BR 03 offer urban style with a robust edge. With automatic movements and high water resistance, Bell & Ross watches are perfect for adventure and everyday wear.
Frederique Constant: Accessible Luxury
For those who value classic aesthetics and in-house Swiss movements, Frederique Constant offers a refined choice. Known for creating luxury watches at accessible price points, this Geneva-based brand blends traditional design with cutting-edge technology.
Highlights include the Highlife Automatic series with integrated bracelets and the Slimline Moonphase, which brings elegance to every occasion. With a strong focus on fine detailing and craftsmanship, these are watches you’ll want to wear for decades.
Tissot: Heritage and Innovation
With a heritage dating back to 1853, Tissot is one of the most recognised Swiss watch brands globally—and for good reason. Offering both quartz and automatic watches, Tissot delivers value without compromising on quality.
From the classic PRX with its integrated bracelet to the sporty Seastar, there’s a Tissot for every style. Their innovations in tactile technology and chronographs continue to push the boundaries of what Swiss watches can do.
Bremont: British Craftsmanship with Swiss Precision
While not strictly classified as "Swiss Made," Bremont watches are a perfect example of British engineering meeting Swiss precision. Each timepiece is powered by high-grade Swiss-made movements that are then customised, assembled, and rigorously tested at Bremont’s state-of-the-art facility “The Wing” in Henley-on-Thames, UK.
Bremont’s philosophy blends Swiss watchmaking expertise with British innovation, producing robust, aviation-inspired watches that have become favourites among adventurers and military professionals. With a growing number of components now manufactured in-house, Bremont continues to bridge the gap between traditional Swiss standards and homegrown craftsmanship.
