VERTEX WATCHES

Launched by Claude Lyons in 1912, VERTEX was commissioned by the British Ministry of Defense to equip soldiers across the battlefields, seas and skies of WWI and WWII. VERTEX was the only British member of the Dirty Dozen, the era’s definitive group of military watch brands. Today, the watchmaking dynasty persists through Lyons’ great-grandson Don Cochrane, who revitalised the brand a hundred years later in 2016.
