Brand heritage

Grandlux was one of the many smaller Swiss brands of the post-war years. In that period, features developed for wartime service, such as bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands, shock and magnetic protection and water-resistant cases, became popular with civilians, while designers added elegant touches like sculpted "fancy" lugs. These charming pieces are a favourite with collectors of affordable vintage Swiss watches.
