Microbrand
Revue Thommen
thommenwatches.comFounded in 1853 in Waldenburg, Switzerland, Revue Thommen built its reputation on rugged, reliable instruments and aircraft clocks, supplying cockpit instrumentation for aviation alongside its wristwatches. Now owned and managed by GT Thommen Watch AG, with the Thommen family in its fifth generation, the brand draws on more than 165 years of heritage to make accessible Swiss-made mechanical watches. Its modern lineup centers on two long-running pillars: the Diver, a 43.5mm 200m automatic with a ceramic bezel and Sellita SW200 movement, and the Airspeed, a 40mm pilot-style automatic on a Sellita SW221, each offered in a small range of themed dial colors named after dive sites and airports.
Worth knowing
Sellita-based Swiss-made automatics with genuine heritage, but list prices around $2,200 put it above many spec-comparable microbrands, and distribution is fragmented across regional sites and third-party retailers.
