About Solvil and Titus
The Solvil et Titus brand was born in 1887 when Paul Ditisheim (1868-1945), a prominent figure in the Swiss watch industry, named it one of the first models he created. Solvil stands for Sonvilier, the village of Jura where a factory for the manufacture of watch components was located, and Titus was a talented and skilled Roman emperor of the first century.
This famous watchmaker and inventor achieved great success in the research and manufacture of precision timepieces that hold the accuracy records recognized by the famous international tests conducted by the Royal Observatory of Kew Teddington and Neuchâtel. His products range from watches for navigation to chronometers that automatically display the time of sunrise and sunset each day. From watches with perpetual calendars to watches that strike and combine to tell the time, from chronometers with equations of time to many other watches with many complications.
After World War II, mass market demand replaced the need for exclusive items and Solvil et Titus expanded its geographical footprint and production capacity. In the 70's, Solvil et Titus was marketed in Asia.
Solvil et Titus began a series of romantic television commercials in Hong Kong in the late 80s, starring superstars such as Anita Mui, Wong Kit, Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau, as well as world-famous soccer player Ryan Giggs. Promoting an ancient-themed watch collection, the campaign was a huge success, with sales of Solvil et Titus watches soaring and the brand becoming a symbol of love and romantic expression. From the classic advertising slogan "Forever and ever" (which translates as "Love lost may be love that stays with you forever") to today's "Time is love", the romantic nature of Solvil et Titus' romantic nature has never changed.
In recent years, Solvil et Titus has continued to enrich its product range. Following the launch of sunglasses, 925 sterling silver jewelry and small fashion accessories, the brand has launched a new collaboration with Kanmi, a Japanese brand, to create handmade leather bags and accessories with a simple and chic design. More than just a watch brand, Solvil et Titus is now the name of a multi-faceted, modern and romantic fashion product.
