Vertex

Vertex Watches was re-launched in 2017 by Don Cochrane, the great-grandson of the brand's original founder. The original Vertex company was founded in 1916 and became a significant supplier of watches to the British military during World War II, notably as one of the "Dirty Dozen" brands. The brand ceased operations in the late 1970s. The modern Vertex aims to honor this heritage by producing watches inspired by its military past, while incorporating contemporary design and manufacturing techniques. The brand focuses on producing high-quality mechanical watches in limited editions. These timepieces often feature designs reminiscent of their historical military predecessors, combined with modern movements, materials, and finishing. Vertex watches are designed to be robust and reliable tools, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their historical context and modern execution.
