INTRODUCTION
More than just a measurement of time…
Designed with absolute respect for the brand’s heritage and watchmaking va-
lues, the new AR watches offer something different, something special. Each
model is designed to be « the watch of a lifetime » : an object full of emotions,
expressing a strong message to the person wearing it. A watch with which that
person will want to write his or her own story !
In an AR watch, there are several notions of time. The time it took to imagine
and design it, the time to manufacture it, the time that will be shown on the
watch and finally the individual time of its future owner.
Inspired and inspiring watchmaking…
« In addition to developing precise, accurate wristwatches, I would like to deve-
lop a deeper relationship with Time. I would like AR watches to carry a message
but also to carry an energy of harmony ». Philip W.A. Klingenberg
Brief history
The history of Auguste Reymond S.A. beginns in 1898, when a young man of
twenty-six years old rented a small apartment in Tramelan, in the Jura moun-
tains, and hired a handful of watchmakers to start manufacturing watches that
would bear his name.
By 1910, his modest business had grown into a huge factory that employed
100 people in its own premises. The well appreciated movements produced by
the Manufacture A. Reymond, worldwide known under the name UNITAS, were
famous for its reliability and its price, were also supplied to numerous other
watch manufacturers.
Today, as far as in the past, still the same values are important. Since 2019,
AUGUSTE REYMOND continues its development. Philip W.A. Klingenberg is
the CEO and independent brand owner based in Nidau near Bienne. He de-
cides to continue to build reliable watches and sets the mission to develop a
new relationship with Time…
