TWR Watch Repairs are proud to be the official UK Service Centre for Formex Watches. We undertake routine servicing and warranty repairs.
Formex Swiss Made Watches, established in 1999, is an independent family-owned watch manufacturer based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. With their roots in high-end watch manufacturing, they develop and produce watches that meet the highest quality standards in the industry, and equip them with unique engineered features to add more functionality and comfort.
The Formex history goes back 20 years when two Swiss brothers, both watchmakers and enthusiasts alike, wanted to combine their passion for watches with their love for motorsports.
"Formex = forme extrème, French for ‘extreme shape’"
Inspired by the engineering and mechanics of high-performance racing cars and bikes, the two brothers developed the brand’s signature patented Case Suspension System. This cushion-like system protects the watch’s movement and considerably adds to the comfort on the wrist, while giving every Formex a very distinctive, robust and sporty look.
Over the following fifteen years, Formex launched over forty collections of modern timepieces, all featuring the patented Case Suspension System. The brand became widely recognized among aficionados of extraordinarily designed sports watches.
"An innovative distribution model, paired with our strong ties to high-end manufacturing, allows us to offer a top-notch Swiss luxury watch at a unique price point. "
CEO Raphael Granito embodies the brand’s passion for speed, precision, mechanics and adrenaline. From an early age, he spent his school holidays working in his father’s watch component company. He learned the conception, development and production of elaborate timepieces from some of the most renowned brands in the industry.
"Breaking boundaries, taking risks and testing limits was always a part of Formex. Our timepieces have everything it takes to become the most faithful partner on your own adventures."
Today, Raphael is a watch aficionado, downhill skater, car racer, snowboarder, freediver, surfer, skydiver and paraglider. With adventure in his heart and technical expertise in his mind, Raphael transitioned the successful Formex brand into the new age of online business.
All Formex watches are designed, developed, and assembled in-house at the headquarters in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland, and meet the current, more strict Swiss Made requirement, which entered into force in January 2017. Every single piece undergoes a variety of quality and functionality controls, before making it to your wrist.
