Company Description
The Jowissa Watch Ltd. was founded by Josef Wyss in 1951. He started to manufacture watches in his own house in Bettlach, Switzer- land, with two fellow employees. During the first years they manufac- tured watches for other brands. The business developed very success- fully and made a physical expansion of the factory necessary in 1958. As a consequence a separate manufactury was built next to the resi- dence of Mr. Wyss and more employees
Jowissa Watch Ltd.re recruited. During the 1970ies Jowissa Watch Ltd. was taken over by the second generation of the Wyss family. Josef's sons Erich, Manfred and Lean- der Wyss decided to start manufacturing watches under the own brand "Jowissa", a shortcut of "Josef Wyss AG". At the same time Jowissa moved its headquarters and the manufactory to a new loca- tion in the center of the village Bettlach, Switzerland, where it’s still located today. Today, with ten employees, Jowissa is a successful small manufac- turer. The manufacturing of the watches takes place in collaboration with regional partners. The Jowissa watch selection is characterized by its diversity. Each ba- sic model is available in different colors, with leather straps or stain- less steel bracelets and in two different sizes. The design of Jowissa watches is best described with attributes like class, elegance, sporti- ness, timelessness.
