About us

ear Reader,

It is with great pleasure that we take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you - not just the company but also the people who make it all possible. On our home page you have seen one of our slogans - Time to consider!

Time to consider what? A good timepiece is more than just a watch - it reflects your lifestyle and says a lot about you - the proud owner - hence our other catch phrase - the body language!

We can only imagine how confusing the worldwide watch market must be to the average consumer - since even for experts - it is hard to keep track of the newest, latest names being launched - and also disappear - on a daily basis.

Let's face it. Most anyone can make "watches", but very few can actually deliver exquisite timepieces. It takes years and years of research and experience to truly understand that special relationship between "Man" and his wristwatch.

For 70 years we have been making fine watches - using the latest available Swiss technology. Being able to say that, obviously speaks for our experience and expertise. Watch making is far more than just sticking an accurate time "indicator" in a slick case. It is time - not just to consider the people behind your watch - but also what they stand for and that hidden degree of quality behind the name. It is for that essential difference that RODANIA has become a trusted and respected force in the industry. We never cease trying to set an example for outstanding service, exciting collections - all backed by a long tradition and passion for watch making.

In 1930, the RODANIA watch factory was established by Mr. Hans Baumgartner in Grenchen Switzerland. Already at that time, the region of Grenchen was a renowned place for watch and clock making. Today the region is the home of such brand names as Breitling, Eterna, Rado etc. In more recent years, Grenchen itself has become known around the world as the birthplace of the Swatch watch and its technology. In 1947, RODANIA Grenchen had the vision and foresight to expand it's operations with the establishment of a subsidiary in Montreal Canada. A short time later, in 1951 a distribution Company was established in Belgium - becoming rapidly the uncontested and highly respected leader in the Belgian and Luxembourg markets and one of the top names in watches throughout Europe.

Take the time to consider our timepieces!
