Who is Invicta?
In 1837, Invicta handcrafted its first watches with the belief that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. Today, powered by that same spirit, the once small company has grown and become worshipped by both collectors and fashionistas but feared by the rest of the watchmaking industry.
Latin for 'invincible', Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Raphael Picard who had the radical idea that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century the company created manual and automatic pieces of exceptional design and construction. Like many Swiss names of its day, however, the brand all but disappeared during the quartz watch revolution of the early '70's.
In 1991, descendants of the founding family re-established the brand holding firm to the company's founding principle. With a maverick and rebellious spirit, they quickly recognised that Invicta could give a large segment of the watch-buying public that had been long ignored by other companys unprecedented access to the fine Swiss quality they wanted at prices well within their reach.
Since the 1991 re-establishment, the Invicta Watch Group has evolved into one of the fastest growing watch companies in the world and has sparked a movement that is turning the balance of power in the watch industry back to the consumer.
Invicta O/s
Invicta has risen in popularity around the world due to its unique approach and attitude. This unique approach, consumer focused pricing, design and colors has resulted in people owning a number of Invicta watches to enable them to wear a different watch according to the occasion, time of day, or their mood.
Invicta watches have been embraced by entertainments new generation with Paris Hilton, Justin Timberlake, Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson and Quentin Tarrantino being just a few that are Invicta watch owners.
Invicta is currently sold in over 40 countries around the world with some of the worlds most prestigious stores carrying the brand like Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Marshall Fields, Taylor & Lord and Tourneau in the US as well as selected retailers throughout Europe and Asia.
As a mark of its popularity, Invicta has been invited to be the official timepiece for the Grammys, the Latin Grammys and MTV Latina Awards for several years running.
Fashion watch or ‘REAL’ watch?
Unlike many similarly priced watches on the market Invicta is a true watch company rather than simply a brand extension for a fashion house.
Invicta watches incorporate market leading European styling and design with Swiss ETA movement to provide a timepiece that is both a bold statement in fashion and brilliant in mechanical craftsmanship.
