About the Arnex Brand

Arnex is a Swiss watch brand that became particularly well known during the mid-20th century, especially from the 1940s through the 1970s. The company focused on producing reliable, well-finished Swiss watches for international markets, often using high-quality ébauches from respected movement manufacturers such as Valjoux, ETA, and others.

While Arnex was not positioned as a luxury “manufacture” brand, it earned a solid reputation for:

• Using robust, proven Swiss movements

• Offering excellent value for quality

• Producing both wristwatches and pocket watches with classic styling

Because Arnex frequently housed premium movements in understated cases, many of their watches are now appreciated by collectors who value mechanical quality over brand hype.
