In the 1940s, Rotary Watches became the official supplier of personal time-pieces to the British Army around the beginning of World War II, which acted as a positive aspect with a boost in the huge demand for watches in Britain and elsewhere during war-time.

Rotary Watches is the leading manufacturer of a wide range of time-pieces, ranging from the elegant and exclusive watches made in Switzerland while the other less-costly watches are assembled in other locations such as China or Japan for importing into Switzerland to get the ‘Made in Switzerland’ label. The company has come a long way from being a small local Swiss family-owned watch-maker to being called as Britain’s ‘Superbrand’ in 2006.
