About This Watch

Brand New, blow out deal! Comes with orig. leather/metal box, outerbox & undated paper but no manual. This Wyler Chronograph used to cost over S$12000 after discount from the retailer here & the used ones were trading for over S$8000 in pre-2010. So this watch represents a good bargain now.

This watch has a very interesting shock resistant case which gave birth to it's name "Concept Chronograph". The movement is housed in a round Titanium cage which is suspended on four corners of the main 'chassis' with springs loaded pillars acting like shock absorbers. You can actually press the glass of this watch & witness it bouncing within the case.

The packaging box is one of the finest in the industry with a gorgeous tan leather that unfolds like a jewellery box & bolted to the sides by hinged brushed metal plates.

Retails over S$20K.

Wyler appeared in 1923 with several innovations since & was relaunched as Wyler Genève in the 2006 Baselworld with several exciting new watches. However, they fell victim to the 2008 crisis, sold off everything in 2009 & kept the company dormant. These watches are now being sold @ a fraction of what they used to be so they now represent fantastic value for a good design with high-quality workmanship and innovative ideas. The movement is the venerable ETA Cal.2894 so parts & servicing are not an issue for any qualified watch mechanic except for the external components such as case, dial, hands, glass & strap parts but we have sold over 50pcs of these & kept a couple for spare parts in case anyone needs it for emergencies.

Do you know that in 1956, Wyler dropped two watches from the top of Eiffel Tower & the watches not only survived the landing but continued to work!?
