•••• Bólido timepieces : A Swiss watch for new times.
Archetypical design without frills. As confident as its owner. We call it «Bólido», Spanish for meteor. A luminary that crosses between the somewhat immovable fixed stars of established brands on the watch firmament. A timepiece with surprising qualities at a completely un-Swiss price.​
Bólido is 100% Swiss made : The new Federal Ordinance, in force since 1 Jan 2017 makes it difficult to launch a reasonably priced ‘Swiss Made’ mechanical watch. While movement and assembly always had to be Swiss, parts such as the watch cases that require expensive forging tooling and multiple labour-intensive operations must now have at least 60% Swiss content. The capacities of suppliers that use the usual production methods are absorbed by the big luxury brands which are able to afford their high costs.
We therefore chose to manufacture the Bólido case employing an automatic lathing machine; in contrast to traditional case production, this so-called ‘décolletage’ is highly competitive and there is ample capacity for it in Switzerland. Sophisticated lathing machines are even able to do the finishing and polishing simultaneously.
