Swiss watch manufacturer

[[Paul Wyler]] founded the company in [[1896]].

__TOC__
Wyler presented its first 16 and 19-line precision movements to the public in [[1927]]. The particularity of these was the [[Incaflex]] balance wheel, which was legendary at the time. The Wyler Incaflex balance wheel is protected along its diameter by two curved, elastic arms, which absorb any shocks to the balance wheel. In addition to producing his own calibres, Wyler also modified movements of other large-scale producers and sold these on to other watch companies. In some cases, the basic calibre was changed so much that the movements should actually be considered as Wyler calibres.

In [[1934]], Wyler was the official watch of Italy's World Cup winning team.

In [[1937/de|1937]] the company caused a stir by launching a water-resistant watch that was not fitted with the conventional soft gaskets. The mineral glass was pressed in between the edge of the case and a pressed or screwed bezel, the gap between the winding shaft and the watch case was sealed hydraulically by fitting the winding shaft and bushing together, in the same material, to 1/500mm.

Wyler gained worldwide notoriety with a spectacular marketing stunt in [[1956]], when two watches were dropped from the top of the Eiffel Tower and continued to function after the fall.

In [[1960]] manual and self-winding models from the Incaflex range became the official railway watch of the Santa Fe Railroad. In [[1972]], the Wyler Watch Corp. New York became a distributor for [[Eterna]].

==== The rebirth of the brand ====
The brand was reborn as '''Wyler Genève''' at [[Baselworld]] 2006, following a decision by the Binda Group to reposition it.

At [[Baselworld]] 2007, the Wyler Genève [[Chronograph]] and [[tourbillon]]s were presented, and in autumn 2007 the Wyler-Zagato watch was launched in conjunction with the Italian Atelier Zagato. The watch has an 8-day manual-winding manufacture movement.
