Edox

Edox was founded in 1884 by Christian Ruefli-Flury in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. The name derives from ancient Greek meaning 'measure of time'. The company introduced notable innovations including the Delfin line with double casebacks for shock protection in 1961 and the Hydrosub with 500m water resistance in 1963. Edox became part of the ASUAG group during the quartz crisis but regained independence in 1983 under the Strambini family. The company produces 70,000-90,000 watches annually and serves as official timekeeper for the World Rally Championship.
