Founded in France in 1993, the Akteo watches were introduced to the US in 1994 by the Universal Watch Company by the president Ralph Cohen. The Akteo designer, Jean-Christophe Mareschal, created a range consisting of 180 styles. The inspiration for his designs came from a variety of artistic influences including artists such as Picasso, the environment and architecture. Each Akteo watch is unique and personal to a theme, telling a tale through the combination of artistic elements and technical constructions. For example the Akteo sports watches utilize miniature golf club and tennis rackets as the mechanisms for showing hours and seconds, or the spokes of a bicycle wheel to dissect the watch face into the 12 segments. In the Akteo professional range, the watch faces are artistically designed to reflect individual professions such as butchery, chemistry, flying, administration or bar tending. The other Akteo watch collections features similar combinations to elicit a unique timepiece. Prices of Akteo watches average at around US$200.
