Latin for "Invincible," Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Raphael Picard. Picard had the radical notion that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. In 1837 Invicta began handcrafting its first watches and for well over a century this diligent company created manual and automatic winding pieces of exceptional design and construction. Like so many Swiss names of its day, the brand all but disappeared during the quartz invasion of the early 1970’s.
In 1991 the descendents of the Invicta family re-established the brand holding firm to Picard’s founding principle. With rebellious zeal they quickly recognized that Invicta could provide teh long ignored, sizable segment of the watch buying public with an unprecedented access to fine Swiss quality they feverently sought at prices well within their reach.
Still privately owned and operated, Invicta has powered forward with Picard’s maverick spirit and the once small company has grown into a dynamic force worshipped by collectors, but feared by the watch-making community.
