The Watch
.
Revue Thommen requires no introduction in the World of Wristwatches, one of the most prestigious Swiss Watchmakers. Revue Thommen was founded in 1854, as a Swiss watch manufacturing company by the community of Waldenburg, Switzerland, and manufactured one of the first Swiss wristwatches upon the simple principle of uncompromised precision, quality, accuracy, exactness, excellence and reliability. The Quality of Revue Thommen was so highly thought of that the British Military contracted them to make Timepieces for the forces alongside other prestigious brands such as Lemania, Omega, Eterna and Jaeger LeCoultre.
