And it's no wonder. The company has been manufacturing pilot's watches with the Aristo logo on the dial for over 100 years. We have selected watches for you that have something extra. Something that makes Aristo watches worth at least considering. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sandblasted 47 mm steel, case height 11.3 mm, Lug to lug 55 mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black, numbers and hands are luminescent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sapphire \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage (New Old Stock from 1970) Swiss mechanical movement with automatic winding - ETA 7227, 47-hour power reserve and signed tungsten rotor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leather, width 22 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 pieces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne such piece is a model from the Vintage collection, inspired by the brand's historic production. At first glance, the size of the watch is striking. The sandblasted case measures an impressive 47 mm. The dial design refers to the watches of aviator navigators from World War II. The watch is powered by a mechanical ETA 2772 movement from 1970, which comes from Aristo's stock. The rotor of the movement is made of tungsten. A total of 15 pieces of these watches were produced. We managed to acquire one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs can be seen from the photo of the watch on the wrist, the watch, despite its size, also fits an average-sized wrist of approx. 17.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Aristo watch range is truly diverse. From very affordable models to limited editions often made using historical parts - be it, for example, historical cases or movements. All watches are assembled in the company's workshops in Pforzheim, Germany. The quality of workmanship is first-class. The price, however, remains at a very favourable level. \u003c\/p\u003e\ncenter center\nhide\ncenter center\nhide\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand history\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of the Aristo brand dates back to 1907, when the watchmaker Julius Epple I (born 1865) founded the company Julius Epple KG in Pforzheim, Germany, one of the cradles of German watchmaking. At that time, the company focused on manufacturing watches and watch cases. In 1934, Julius Eppe took over the company Rohwerkfabrik Maurer \u0026amp; Reiling and from then on the company also started producing its own hand-wound movement known as JE Urofa 56. The \"Aristo\" brand began to be used from the mid-1920s and was registered on January 31, 1936, at the former \"Imperial Patent Office\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVandaag, the Aristo company is in the hands of Mr. Hansjörg Vollmer (since 1998, when the Epple family sold it to him), the grandson of the founder of the Vollmer steel watch bracelet manufactory (Vollmer, Evvo, New Line), which was founded in 1922 and maintained business relations with Aristo since 1927.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder Hansjörg's leadership, the brand, in addition to producing typical Aristo models, also focuses on innovation. For example, in 2004 Aristo introduced the first watch with a carbon case and carbon dial, thus positioning the brand among the pioneers working with carbon as a material in the watch industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisit to the manufactory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn July 2019, we had the opportunity to visit the Aristo factory in person.
