Factory 121 Watches

Factory 121 is a Swiss manufacturer of personalized watches and chronographs.  Based in Martigny, Switzerland, at the foot of the Swiss Alps with an assembly infrastructure close by, the watches carry the official "Swiss Made" hallmark. This world recognized standard is regulated and endorsed by the Swiss Watch Federation, of which Factory 121 is a member. 

Founded by Frederic Polli, Daniel Morf and Jean Loup Ribordi in 2003 the company is most famous for its embracement of online technology.  The company inspires buyers to compose their own unique timepieces to then be created by Factory 121. Alternatively one can choose from their aesthetic range of ready to wear in-house designs.

Factory 121 does not compromise on quality.  Each Factory 121 watch is composed of premium components and built around high precision Swiss movements. The company controls all aspects of watch design, manufacturing and assembly.  Quality control procedures are in place at every stage of the watch making process, ensuring the integrity of all materials used and the performance of the finished product.

Factory 121 watch movements are among the most accurate and reliable in the business and are highly resistant to shock and magnetic fields.  All Factory 121 watches are engineer endorsed against set benchmarks for precision, reliability and water-resistance before they leave the factory.

The Quartz crystal resonator, at the heart of Factory 121 watches, vibrates at 32,768 (32 kHz) times per second, ensuring almost perfect accuracy. Any loss in time represents less than a second a day.  For added security, all Factory 121 watches have a battery end-of-life indicator showing when the battery is running low. Once the battery is low, the second hand will begin to jump every 4 seconds although the watch will continue to show the correct time.
