In the heart of the Swiss watch-making
region, with a lot of snow in the winter, almost
all professional watchmakers personally know
each other. Many years ago, small associations
were created to exchange the secrets and ideas
among the watch world professionals. These associations
are kept secret, discreet, and extremely closed.
We are designers, watchmakers, artisans, dial
makers, gravers, guillocheurs, box makers, strap
makers, and many other "invisible"
experts having only one goal: Perfection.
The major names in the watch industry are silently
using these skills to produce the most beautiful
marvels in the world of watches. We are extremely
confident and very discreet about our craft.
One watch enthusiast, AK, approached this community
after many years of effort and was convinced
to participate on non-profit projects having
a goal to produce a very small number of highly
personalized timepieces. The challenge is large,
because to produce very high quality timepieces
in extremely low series is very difficult and
time-consuming.
The culmination of those efforts is ABA Watches.
ABA Watches has a very close connection with
the ancient associations of watchmakers, and
has as primary goal the production of the perfect
timepieces for watch aficionados.
Every day of the year, a few people make one
of the most important purchases of their personal
lives. They buy a fine Swiss timepiece. By doing
so, they establish not only a partnership between
them and the manufacturer, but they also establish
a persona portrayed to the world community,
at large.
We can all agree that a fine Swiss watch is
something to be very proud of owning. However,
we all must also agree that the normal fine
Swiss watch is not a unique piece of art. And
just as each individual is "unique",
the true connoisseur of fine timepieces actually
yearns for a watch as unique as himself. This
is where ABA Watches fills the void.
Unlike other Swiss watchmakers, ABA Watches
prides itself in producting only one-of-a-kind,
truly unique watches and timepieces. By doing
so, not just a partnership is entered into between
the purchaser and us, but a relationship, a
kindred spirit is fostered. That is what sets
ABA Watches apart from all others.
This attitude toward unique craftsmanship is
also what guides ABA Watches when a commercial
enterprise finds the need to produce a very
limited-edition watch for special promotional
purposes.
ABA Watches is the only Swiss watch company
founded with these principles and ideals in
mind. We understand you, and we appreciate you
for who you are. And, in turn, you appreciate
our craftsmanship even more. That is the relationship
we build together.
Each person is unique, and we never forget
that fact. |
