All the watches were taken from sellers in europe and most of them from Switzerland. This time, WAKMANN already the watches of Wakmann have been with a maximum of style, quality and technicaly know-how. Specially the technical part was one of the most controlled and checked parts and highest quality was allways one of the main features. This explains, why WAKMANN watches have always been one of the favorite brands for collectors watchlovers. First of all the different Valjoux chrono-movements with ratched, like the caliber 72, 88, 730 and the very rare and seldom Valjoux 92.

Because of the really outstanding quality and the conclusive precision of the watches, WAKMANN was able to establish oneself as official producer and deliverer for the military. Next to wristwatches,WAKMANN was also the deliverer of onboard-watches for the military forces.
