Roamer Watches Roamer was founded in Solothurn, Switzerland, in 1888 by Fritz Meyer. At first, Meyer and employees concentrated on manufacturing cylinder escapements. Within only 7 years (in 1895), the company grows to 60 employees and produces complete watches. In the same year, the company develops its first own caliber and names it number 38 to commemorate the 38th birthday of the company’s founder. In 1905 Meyer joined with fellow watchmaker Johann Studeli to form the partnership Meyer and Studeli (MST). In the same year[3] Meyer won a Bronze medal at the Liege World Fair. The partnership continued to develop new calibers and enter them into more World Fairs, winning Silver Medals at the Milan Fair in 1906 and Brussels Fair in 1910. In 2003, Roamer returned to manufacturing mechanical watches.In 2013, its 125 year anniversary, Roamer launched a limited new edition of the Stingray Chrono Diver watch. Roamer is a member of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH. About mechanical watches A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function electronically, with the help of a small battery. A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring which must be hand-wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power balance, a weighted wheel that oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate. Mechanical watches are classic vintage pieces, beautiful displays of minimalism and old-school features. Some of the most elegant mechanical watches, for true vintage enthusiasts, are now available in our vintage mechanical watch collection.
