History

Rebellion Timepieces watches are born on the race track. Based in Lonay, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, Rebellion Timepieces has forged itself a place in the world of Swiss Haute Horlogerie.

Passion, perfectionism and performance are the key values that led to the creation of the company in 2008 and continue to guide its development every day. Sharing the same DNA as its sister company, Rebellion Racing, an automobile team competing in endurance championships, all Rebellion watches are directly inspired by motor sport and each watch is created with exclusive movements and precision cases. Rebellion Timepieces’ research and development as well as production take place in Switzerland, a country with very high quality standards. Since its creation and in harmony with its name, Rebellion Timepieces has avoided market trends and prefers to make its own way in the world of Fine Watchmaking. Anxious to be at the forefront in terms of technology and materials, the brand has innovated over the years in areas such as carbon fibre, flat atomic diamond and multi-layer dials. Thanks to its renown in the automotive world, Rebellion Timepieces is today the official timekeeper of several international competitions such as the Dakar Rally and the GT World Challenge.
