Background Information

Jorg HYSEK

Since its origin, the HYSEK brand has imposed its “avant-garde” vision within the watch industry, which heckles and dares the difference to create a unique identity with its products. It celebrated its 10^th anniversary in 2008. The strong personality and singularity of its lines has contributed to enrich the traditional sector of the Swiss watch industry.

The HYSEK concept is characterized by very creative lines, with singular and distinctive cases with an eye for detail. Over the last three years, the HYSEK brand has been upgraded in a very significant way, positioning it in the high-end and luxury watch field by conducting a product oriented strategy with technically enhanced movements. Proper elements of the HYSEK identity are the dial displaying the numbers 1-5-7-11, but also the fold-over buckle, exclusive design of the brand in perfect continuity to the case. It focusses its main collection on complication timepieces thanks to enriched and sophisticated mechanical execution valued by cases of exception such as SYMPHONY (Minute Repeater Westminster Tourbillon).

Its other notable collections include Abyss, IO, Kilada, Rebel and V-King. The brand finally confirmed its legitimacy as a key player in the field of Haute Horlogerie thanks to the creation of its own manufacture. Today, it offers 7 watch lines with strong identity and recognizable style which distinguish themselves by a minimalist and refined style, harmonious shapes and volumes as well as an extreme care for details, finish and quality. A celebrity favourite, Jorg Hysek is the chosen watch of US President Barack Obama. HYSEK watch collections can be found exclusively at IBG-Group’s Majestic boutiques located at prestigious shopping venues in the UAE.
