Krieger

The Krieger Watches brand produces some of the most exquisite timepieces and has quite a history behind its launch. The roots of Krieger Watches go back to one man’s quest to create a watch that would accurately predict low and high tides for better navigation of the waterways in South Florida. This created an entire market for tidal watches by revolutionizing the concept. From the production of the Tidal Chronometer in 1987 to the launch of a company, and the resulting giant leap the brand has since taken, Ira Krieger certainly did live up to his dream. Today, Krieger Watches is a name to reckon with among the most prestigious and luxurious timepieces.
