Extreme Watchmaking Revealed: The Formex Aria And How It's Made

Formex may be a relatively young name in Swiss watchmaking, but the brand has already made a name for itself thanks to its unique approach. Founded in 1999 and based in Biel, Formex has built its identity around combining mechanical watchmaking with engineering-led solutions. Its watches are known for features such as the patented Case Suspension System, tool-free adjustable clasps, and a focus on ergonomics and everyday wearability. For our latest video, we traveled to Biel to take a closer look at the company behind the watches. The visit also gave us the opportunity to spend time with Formex's newest and most ambitious model to date: the Aria Manufacture Chronometer. You can watch the full video above, including a closer look inside the manufacture and a chat with Formex CEO Raphaël Granito.
