More Info
  • The History:

Founded in 1880 by Albert Wittnauer, the Wittnauer Watch Company was born from a desire to create durable, high-quality timepieces with the functionality of Swiss brands, but at a more affordable price point for the American market.  Run by Albert and his brothers Louis and Emile, the company moved to New York, opening a production plant in Puerto Rico shortly after.  Upon the death of all three Wittnauer brothers, their younger sister Martha took over and became the first female CEO of a watch brand in 1915.  Martha led the company for more than 20 years and became the first woman elected to the Horological Society of America.  During her leadership, Wittnauer developed a relationship with the U.S. military, which led to the production of many timepieces and instruments used for aviation.

  • The Watch:

The Wittnauer Automatic Cal C11KA features a 34mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal.  The silver dial features a sunburst pattern with applied Arabic numerals, a small seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position, and a date window at the 3 o’clock.

  • The Details:

This timepiece includes an aftermarket grey suede strap.
