Authentic Elysee watches made in Germany
The Elysee watch brand was born in 1920, founded by the Swiss watchmaker Jacques Beaufort. The first Elysee watch came on the market in 1921, a high-quality ladies watch made of solid gold, set with precious stones. In 1992, the Elysee brand was sold to a German businessman, Reiner Seume. With this, a new direction is chosen for the brand and the focus is particulary on the German watch market. The head office is located in Dusseldorf and the watches are made in Germany. The target group later expanded to several other European countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium.
In the years that follow, the brand becomes involved in the historic motorsport. Drivers such as Graf Berghe von Trips and Jochen Mass act as brand ambassadors. In 2013, the association of jewels and watches from Pforzheim creates guidelines for the 'made in Germany label', Elysee has been involved from the beginning. This results in the contemporary quality that can be found in the Elysee watches.
The brand goes clearly for quality and uses only high quality materials for their watches. The 316L stainless steel that is processed in the watches is also used for aircraft and machines. The movements inside each Elysee watch are only from quality brands such as Miyota, Ronda and Seiko.
Elysee also stands for innovation, this is evident in their philosophy: 'the core of our watch brand is the sum of design and quality combined with the wishes of the watch enthusiast'. The brand has a large collection from classic to sporty with both quartz and automatic movements. In addition, the Elysee watches, despite being a German quality product, are surprisingly affordable.
