Rudiger Watches are Bringing Germany’s Rich Watchmaking Heritage to a Whole New Audience

German watches are unique. With Germany’s reputation for superb engineering and craftsmanship, it’s no surprise that this country has a rich watchmaking history. The great watchmakers of Germany’s Glashütte region rival anything made in nearby Switzerland. German watches are characterized by their durability and precision tolerances, along with the clean lines and minimalist styles that show their Bauhaus influence. Even to the untrained eye, there is something unique about a German watch. Their straightforward, readable dials, straight edges, and angled lugs project the same purposeful elegance that makes this country’s cars, tools and cameras instantly recognizable.

German design excellence and technological innovation has had such an influence on watchmaking that even some of the most famous Swiss watch names like Fortis, Zenith and Rolex have been heavily influenced by German thinking. Now, Rudiger, a rising star in the watch world, pays homage to Germany’s illustrious watchmaking heritage with a collection of exceptional new timepieces that showcase German style and quality at its very best.

Rudiger timepieces, each named after a different city in Germany, feature the classic, elegant styles and clean lines that have long been associated with Germany’s best watchmakers, from Helmut Sinn to Gerd-Rüdiger Lang. What makes Rudiger watches unique is that modern manufacturing techniques and movements have been used to make these timepieces much more affordable than their handmade counterparts.

A Rudiger watch doesn’t belong in a bank vault, it belongs on your wrist. The sporty Constellation model features the clean lines and easy readability that has long been associated with the finest aviator and diver timepieces. The classic Leipzig model, with its trademark small seconds dial at 6 o’clock, is so characteristically German that you could wear it with lederhosen. The spectacular Gorlitz model has the look and feel of a hand-made tourbillon. Don’t worry though; the Gorlitz, like all Rudiger timepieces, is meant to be worn every day.

This Rudiger men's watch exudes an aura of bold but understated elegance. Encased in stainless steel, its large white dial features luminous hands, gold tone indices, a sub-second and 24 hour sub-dial, and a second hand. A durable mineral crystal window conveniently protects the dial from scratches. Soft black genuine leather straps comfortably close with a tang buckle for safe and secure all day wear. Powered by reliable Quartz movement and water resistant to 50 meters, it is an ideal addition to any timepiece collection.
