Swiss craftsmanship meets superior design in Wittnauer's diverse line of luxury watches. For wearers in search of the ultimate balance of affordability, aesthetics and outstanding reliability, Wittnauer is a welcoming vision; the realization of one man's dream. History was made in 1872 when watchmaker Albert Wittnauer, a young immigrant from Switzerland, came to New York to practice his craft. Before long, one of today's most celebrated brands was born.Wittnauer has been the timepiece of choice for navigators, astronomers, geographers and explorers around the world for years. With a rich history of innovation that includes many world firsts, the brand's current association with Bulova is a natural. While both brands cater to adventurers and fashionistas alike, it was Wittnauer that introduced the world's first waterproof, shock-proof, anti-magnetic watch in 1918, the same model that helped Commander Richard E. Byrd navigate his flight over the North Pole. And with more than 100 years behind them, Wittnauer is just as forward-thinking, fashionable and reliable as ever.
