Edox – Celebrating 140 Years of Watchmacking

140 YEARS OF HISTORY

In 2024, Edox Swiss Watches proudly commemorates its 140th anniversary, a testament to its enduring legacy in the world of Swiss watchmaking. Since its foundation in 1884 by master watchmaker Christian Ruefli-Flury, Edox has remained a symbol of precision, craftsmanship, and unwavering innovation. For more than a century, Edox has embodied the spirit of pioneering ingenuity, adapting to the changing tides of technology and taste while remaining true to its heritage.

From the early days when Ruefli-Flury’s meticulous dedication set the tone for the brand, Edox has expanded its horizons and continually proven its excellence. The 1961 introduction of the Delfin model, known as “The Water Champion,” revolutionized the watch industry with its double case back and enhanced water resistance, marking Edox as a leader in dive watch technology. This spirit of innovation was reinforced with the advent of the Hydro-Sub in 1965, a robust diving watch that set new standards for submersible timekeeping.

The story of Edox is intertwined with the world’s most thrilling sporting pursuits. From timing some of the fastest sailing and motorsport competitions, the brand has carved out its place as an essential companion for those who seek precision under extreme conditions. The meticulous Swiss engineering behind each watch reflects Edox’s commitment to creating timepieces that can withstand both the rigors of deep-sea diving and the challenges of professional racing.
