About EPOS
EPOS is a Swiss manufacturer of mechanical watches headquartered in Lengnau. All timepieces are designed and manufactured in Switzerland. The company specialises in mechanical watches with elaborate complications and equips the majority of its models with ETA and Sellita movements, which are implemented in various finish grades depending on the collection or tuned with in-house developed complications. Sapphire glass and high-quality 316L stainless steel (1.4404) are used as materials. The product range comprises the Emotion, Passion, Originale, Oeuvre D'Art, Sophistiquée, Perfection and Sportive collections as well as ladies' and pocket watches. Documented innovations include the Epos 3400 (2010), the first watch with an inverted 24-hour display for the second time zone with two separate mechanical movements, and the Epos 3435 'Verso' (2017), the first watch with an inverted mechanical Unitas 6497 movement. Among other markets, the company sells its watches in Great Britain (MODE9 UK Ltd.) and Vietnam (Dang Quang Online Services Jsc.).
