Before HoroSwiss S.A, the SAW Co
S.A was founded in 1993 in the Swiss watch making
metropolis of
La Chaux-de-Fonds, whose architecture and urban
landscape owe much to the watch making industry.
It is here,
in the heart of a region synonymous with quality
Swiss watch products that Michael Vrolixs chose
to establish his company. As both director and
manager
of Horoswiss, Mr Vrolixs belongs to
a fourth generation family of watchmakers. In 2001 HoroSwiss acquired the exclusive
and international rights to produce and market the
Compass watch, successfully developed by Mr Hubert
Zwahlen, a well-know Swiss engineer. This unique timepiece
shows exceptional technical features, ingeniously integrating
an antimagnetic case and fluid compass, a genuine precision
compass tested by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology.
The compass watch was also tested by military pilots
in Switzerland. This timepiece is ideal for sportsmen,
explorers, airmen, sailors and every person anxious
to find a precise bearing.
