COMPANY HISTORY
(RE)TAKE TIME
That’s what we believe in.
We’re so busy with our lives; we hardly notice how time poor we really are.
Retake time and experience life differently.
Take the time to pursue what truly matters.
Take a moment for yourself, and sip that coffee.
Hit the road and sweat it out with your friends.
Take in the view.
Have another beer.
Take a nap.
Re-connect.
Take the time to see friends and family.
Stay a bit longer.
Share another joke.
Celebrate those important moments.
Grow that sense of connection and community.
And more than anything, take time to pursue your passion. Whatever that may be, our watches won’t let you down.
They’ll follow you unfailingly, witness all those precious moments, and become part and parcel of your life.
Our watches are a simple reminder of how important it is to pursue true happiness.
To treasure the times of your life. And to enjoy every single, solitary second you can spare.
It's time to (re)take time.
This manifest reflects the Rodania Philosophy.
The Rodania brand exists for more than 80 years. Our Swiss roots and our love for tradition have always driven us to develop precise and elegant watches, with an eye for detail and a contemporary style.
As time passes by, the brand evolves. We see a strong bond with its past and heritage but at the same time we are living confidently in the present and dream of what the future will bring.
An endless passion for watches since 1930…
1930. In Lengnau, a small Swiss village known for its watch production, the Rodania brand is ‘born’. A few years later, the company moves to a new factory in Grenchen, just across the production of ETA-movements. For the next decades this picturesque place will be the heart of all activities of the company.
In de 1950s, Rodania opens distribution centra all over the world. The office in Wemmel, situated in the suburbs of Brussels, very quickly becomes the center of all international distribution and eventually becomes the headoffice.
At that time the brand also starts its ongoing partnership with the fascinating world of sports: our pilot car at the start of major cyclism events, presence in football stadia, Rodania as time keeper of the Paris- Dakar rally, … Rodania watches become an all-time favorite for famous sportsmen such as Eddy Merckx or Thierry Boutsen. Our watches even make it to the North Pole, on an expedition to Antarctica.
Today the Rodania brand is supported by a professional and passionate team, with an eye for human values. We were established in Switzerland and Belgium, but are also present in France since 1995 and in some other 30 countries.
Day by day we search for new ways to translate our passion for watches, here, on your wrist and all over the world.
