The brand has a wide-ranging product portfolio and have had to change and adapt in order to stay afloat over the decades. Wenger are a key name in Swiss Watch manufacturing, and yet are one of the lesser-known brands as watches are a relatively new product within the brand’s portfolio. Their watches are incredibly functional, with some models designed to be elegant and fashionable. Wenger Watches have a diverse and convoluted history. The Beginning of the Brand The history of Wenger Watches began in 1893 in Courtételle, a small town near Delémont in the Swiss Jura region. The brand started as an industrial cutlery house name Paul Boechat & Cie. The company managed to get a contract with the Swiss Army to produce knives, beginning production of the tool that is now commonly known as the Swiss Army Knife. Theodore Wenger became part of the brand in 1897, some years after it was founded. He served as a minister in the United States and was hired by some entrepreneurs whilst on his journey back home to Switzerland. This group of entrepreneurs had just bought Paul Boechat & Cie. Wenger became a board member and made it his immediate mission to acquire a machine to manufacture spoons so that the company could diversify their product range. The company continued to grow over the years, developing a passion for quality, precision and outstanding craftsmanship. Their most iconic and sought-after product continued to be the Swiss Army Knife. This knife is a multi-tool that is designed to be multifunctional and able to assist its owner in a variety of tricky situations. Wenger’s Move into Watchmaking Wenger began to make watches in 1997. Despite only having just over 20 years’ experience in the craft, the brand is one of the key names in the Swiss watchmaking industry. Their watches are designed to have multifunctional uses, making them suitable for people who like to spend a lot of time adventuring in the outdoors. Wenger realised that a purely practical watch was not going to appeal to everybody, and so expanded their range to include watches that were designed for the sole purpose of style and fashion. Wenger in the Modern Day The brand faced trying times in 2001 after 9/11 had taken place. A popular sales point for Swiss Army Knives was at duty free kiosks in airports. After the tragedy, pocketknives were banned in air travel, causing Wenger to lose an awful lot of profit. The brand was forced to restructure their business. Fortunately, another Swiss Army Knife manufacturer, named Victorinox was able to acquire Wenger, saving the brand in this time of hardship. After the acquisition, Wenger retained their own brand identity and shifted their focus to the production of watches and other products that the brand sold. In recent years, Wenger have expanded into luggage and other travel accessories in order to diversify their business and appeal to a wider audience. The brand’s watch portfolio contains a myriad of choices so there truly is an option for everyone, whether it be for outdoor adventuring, or to pair with a smart suit. With the history of Wenger Watches being rooted in multipurpose tools, the brand’s watches can be relied upon to be robust, practical and often multifunctional. Despite having faced troubling times, Wenger have managed to shift their focus onto watches in order to become a key name in Swiss watchmaking. RECOMMENDATIONS All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches). Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive. Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture. If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust. If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc. Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard. When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement. It is desirable to adjust the hands of your watch at the same time every day. An automatic or self-winding watch should be worn for at least 8 hours a day. It is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of natural motion of the wearer's arm, to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary. If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours). Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism. Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches. If the course of your watches is worsening and the accuracy of the reduction in the duration of the clock (autonomy) from one fully wound spring - it need a service. IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down. To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth. Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement. Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed. Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good. Mechanical watch is not recommended to use for engage in extreme sports, and expose them to excessive vibration loads. Recoil force, which take on the clock, affect their reliability and precision. No matter how perfect was not anti-shock mechanism, there is always the chance of excessive load that details of the mechanism can not survive. Watch with calendar. It is not recommended to adjust, the date between 20.00 and 06.00, because at this time involved a mechanism for automatic adjustment date. Translation pointers calendars manually in this position arrows may damage the mechanism. Date changes should be made, relegating pre-clockwise to lower sector of the dial (for example, to position 6 (18.00) hours). Chronograph watches. In most cases, these watches contain the "start/stop" button and "reset" button. It is strongly recommended not to press the "reset" if the chronograph is running. Before you use the "Reset" button need to stop the chronograph by button "start/stop". Using the "reset" when running chronograph can damage the mechanism of most models of watches.
