Roamer: A Legacy of Swiss Watchmaking Excellence
Founded in 1888 by Fritz Meyer in Solothurn, Switzerland, Roamer has established itself as a hallmark of high-quality Swiss watchmaking. Initially focusing on the production of cylinder escapements, the company expanded rapidly, employing 60 people within seven years and producing complete watches. In 1905, Meyer partnered with Johann Studeli, forming Meyer and Studeli (MST), and introduced their first in-house movement, the "Calibre 38," named after Meyer's age at the time. The brand "Roamer" was registered in 1908, and by 1952, the company officially adopted the name Roamer Watch Co. SA. Roamer gained international acclaim for its precision and reliability, becoming synonymous with elegant and robust timepieces.
MST 450: A Testament to Precision Engineering
The MST 450 is a manual-winding movement developed by Roamer, reflecting the brand's dedication to precision engineering. This caliber features a sub-second function and Incabloc shock protection, enhancing its durability and accuracy. Measuring 23.65 mm in diameter with a thickness of 3.8 mm, the MST 450 operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and boasts a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. Introduced around 1960, this movement exemplifies Roamer's commitment to producing reliable and high-quality watch mechanisms.
