Ogival reflects a 115 year watch craftsmanship. The Ogival watch company was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in early 1903, by Mr. Rene Brandt, a talented watchmaker who was always striving to create unique high-quality models of wristwatches. Very soon Ogival watches won a worldwide popularity, and became a symbol of high quality and durability. Over the whole history the Ogival company headed by Mr. Rene Brandt was able to enlarge the watch market with its various and exclusive models of watches. But the Ovigal company does not limit its collections with luxury jewelry watches only. The brand's rich range includes chronometres, chronographs and so on. In 1958 members of some expeditions to the Pyrenees, France and the Upper Garonne river had water-resistant Ovigal chronometres on their wrists. According to the members, the success of the expeditions was high-precise and reliable watches of this Swiss watch brand. Comments are closed.
