Stowa

The watch brand Stowa was founded in 1927 by Walter Storz in Hornberg, Germany. The name Stowa is an acronym derived from the founder's name, Storz Walter. Initially, Stowa began by producing high-quality movements and later expanded into crafting its own watches. Stowa is known for its classic and functional watch designs, often inspired by historical aviation and marine timepieces. The brand maintains a strong focus on traditional watchmaking craftsmanship and precision, ensuring the quality of its watches through careful selection of movements and materials. Over the years, Stowa has produced a diverse range of watches, including pilot watches (Flieger), marine watches (Marine), and Bauhaus-inspired designs. The brand is particularly recognized for its faithful re-creations of historical pilot and observer watches originally supplied to the German air force during World War II, as well as its minimalist Antea series.
