EDOX VISION AND MILESTONES
1884
One year earlier, a very romantic Christian
Ruefli-Flury, a highly talented watchmaker
“Maître-Horloger” from Grenchen in
Switzerland, builds a pocket watch for the
25th birthday of his beloved wife Pauline.
Impressed by the accomplishment of her
gift, she convinces then her husband to
set up his own watch making company in
Biel in 1884, a famous city for its well-
educated watch engineers. Christian
Ruefli-Flury calls his company “Edox”
which means “the hour” in ancient Greek.
1900
The hourglass is officially used as a time-
less symbol for Edox and is since a proud
heritage part of the early years of the
company.
1921
After the death of the founder, the com-
pany is taken over by Robert Kaufmann-
Hug, a wise businessman. He quickly
makes decisions which change Edox des-
tiny in propelling the company as the first
watch making facility producing wrist
timepieces only.
1955
After World War 2, demand for Edox time-
pieces continues to grow. Edox employs at
that time up to 500 watchmakers. The
company moves into new, larger and
modern production facilities. The high-
tech machines allow the production of
highly water-resistant timepieces.
1961
It is the year of birth of the famous “Delfin”
timepiece. This Edox invention features for
the first time of the watch industry a dou-
ble case back, sturdy protective gaskets
and seals that set new standards of shock
protection and water resistance.
1963
The Edox “Hydrosub” timepiece is
launched featuring the first crown system
with tension ring and shock-absorbing
gasket allowing a waterproofness of
500 meters. The “Hydrosub” timepiece is
still nowadays well known for its avant-
guardiste technical achievement.
1970
The early 70’s witnesses the introduction
of the world’s first truly universal time
watch, the Edox “Geoscope” timepiece.
Covering all time zones, the watch pro-
vides the hour of almost 50 different cities
around the world as well as the wearer’s
local time.
1983
After a worldwide financial recession, the
company is taken over and is since a
family-owned independent company. The
decision is made to move the facilities to
Les Genevez in the heart of the Swiss
Jura, the homeland of many famous
highly skilled watchmakers.
1998
Edox engineers and watchmakers develop
a superb invention: the world’s slimmest
watch with calendar, the “Les Bémonts
Ultra Slim” collection. The movement has
a height of only 1,4 mm. This technical
record is held unbroken by Edox since
then.
