Wyler

 By Bruce Shawkey

Ran across this ad for a Wyler watch in the March/April 1954 issue of Swiss Horological Journal. Most all watch collectors have heard of Wyler. They made sturdy reliable watches. They are no longer in business, but are certainly remembered by collectors. 

The watch company was founded by Paul Wyler in 1896. Wyler watches were known for their rugged and shockproof movements and models. Paul Wyler gained seven patents for his innovations, the most important being in 1927 when he invented the “Incaflex balance spring”, which was resistant to impact.

Here are addition articles on Wyler watches I've written recently:

 It always tickles me to see an ad for a watch with a large number of jewels. A watch only needs 17 jewels, and anything above that is superfluous. Heck, many Patek Phillipe watches have only 17 jewels, and they are arguably the finest watches in the world.
