Discriminating
watch collectors the world over look to Corvus Watch Company for some of the
most unique and classic designs in military, pilot, and dive watches, as well
as watchstraps. Corvus Watch Company offers these reissued designs through
direct online sales with free shipping in North America. A family-owned
entrepreneurial effort, Corvus Watch Company was founded in 2008 specifically
to resurrect classic designs for the creation of resilient wristwatches with
advanced mechanical technology.
Basing the styling primarily on 20th century
U.S. military watches, Corvus Watch Company products like the popular Vietnam
Era styled Bradley Dive Watch are all custom designed in-house. They are then
engineered in Pforzheim, Germany, by Fricker GMBH & Co. KG’s master
technicians. These products are exclusive to Corvus watches. Corvus Watch
Company provides true Swiss-made watches with the movement of the watch
constructed in Switzerland and the watch completed with Swiss assembly. Corvus
Watch Company’s process clearly meets the defined legal term of “Swiss-made.”
In addition to movement and assembly, the dial printing and watchstrap buckle
finish are completed in Switzerland. The Netherlands provides a stainless steel
hardening process called Kolsterising. Corvus Watch Company spares no expense
when it comes to the engineering of its Swiss-made watches. Employing satellite
technology like that used in the Hubble Space Telescope, Corvus Watch Company’s
exclusive ultra-black watch dial coating provides unsurpassed contrast for
readability and durability even in daylight. Developed by engineers at an
Indiana aerospace coating lab, Corvus Watch Company dials receive the
non-reflective Satellite Black coating in the United States.
Realizing that
watch collectors need comfort and style for their watchbands in addition to
stylish, durable watches, Corvus Watch Company partnered with Phoenix Straps
Ltd. of Wales, United Kingdom. The company that produces watchstraps for the
British military also provides the variety of watchstraps available for order
from Corvus Watch Company, including the “Real Bond” strap as seen
attached to the Rolex Submariner in the classic James Bond films of the 1960s.
A company that insists on doing everything with top quality, Corvus Watch
Company’s unique logo T-shirts are manufactured from an extra soft fabric
milled in Essex, Massachusetts.
The front of the company’s shirt bears the
company name in Latin, Corvus Horologicus. Corvus, Latin for raven, provided
the perfect design to grace each watch back—a raven surrounded by the
constellation Corvus. Other T-shirts meticulously designed by Corvus Watch
Company are Travis Bickle’s King Kong Company shirt as seen in Taxi Driver and
Fly the Friendly Skies of Vietnam tee. A percentage of the sale of each of this
style of T-shirt goes to a nonprofit charity that supports services for Vietnam
veterans.
