Glycine watch company was founded in 1914 in Bene.
Glycine company's founder is Eugene Meylan, a wonderful artist who has created
an extremely accurate movement for ladies’ watches, offering a stunning women's
watch market in gold and adorned with diamonds.
In 1931, Eugene Meylan invented the automatic winding movement. Glycine Eugene
Meylan SA watches with the exact movement are very rarely found at auctions and
collectors are a source of pride.
In 1934, the company produced watches that meet all
quality requirements of the Official Swiss precision checks. During the Second
World War, many watch factories were forced to cease to exist. But in spite of
all, the company managed to survive. Moreover, it has become one of the
participants of the Basel exhibition - an annual event, which is a significant
event in the watchmaking world.
Glycine is primarily a sports watch with a big case with three independent
movement. The firm has dedicated many years of Glycine art of watchmaking. In
1948, it introduced self-winding watch and has become one of the first brands
of automatic watches. After all, these watches are created by designers and
craftsmen without the use of mass production technologies.
The company surprised everyone when they released a line of watches
"Airman 2000". They became known thanks to clearly label the dial to
be satisfied and the ability to simultaneously show time in three time zones.
The new model is distinguished by its 17 Airman size, which was 46 millimeters
in diameter. In addition, the watch is set automatic Valgranges A07-171 with
three-hour zones. An «Airman 7" is an exclusive watch with three
independent movements in a single package and Automatic, which shows the time
simultaneously in four different time zones on three dials. The hands are
driven by automatic movement ETA 2893-2. The dials on the marks,
"8:00" and "10 hours" indicate hours and minutes in two
time zones. These cells operate on a small automatic ETA 2671-2 movements.
Other Glycine watches, for example «Incursore» and «KMU 48", are known for
use in historic military operations. «Incursore» was named in honor of the
department of Italian frogmen of the Armed Forces, who performed extremely
dangerous assignments and were glorified in the Second World War. A «KMU
48" - a shorthand term "Naval Watch", and 48 - is the diameter
of the case. The dial of the watch is made so that military divers can easily
distinguish between all of the labels, even in poor visibility conditions.
Glycine Watches have always been known for big cases and multiple dials.
The owner of a Glycine is outstanding personality who has a delicate taste and
ability to evaluate the combination of bright modernity and the old Swiss
tradition.
