Bedat & Co is a Swiss company founded in 1996 by Simone Bédat and her son Christian Bédat. By the time the company was founded, Simone already had 50 years of experience in the high-end watch industry and was a co-owner of the famous Raymond Weil brand. After graduating from business school in Lausanne, Christian Bédat led the production of Benetton timekeeping devices in Hong Kong. After a couple of years, he returned to Switzerland, where he headed the advertising and promotion department at Raymond Weil.

In the watch industry, the principle “one year – one collection” is quite common, in other words, the main novelties of the year are produced within the same collection. For IWC, last year passed under the sign of the Pilot’s Watch product line, and the model Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Spitfire Bronze can rightly be considered one of the most striking last year’s novelties.  

The main holiday of all loving hearts – Valentine’s Day – is coming.

We found the perfect gifts in the Rolex and Patek Philippe collections.
