BRAND
Launched in 2008, Rebellion is a young and audacious independent Swiss high-end watch brand, based in Lonay, on the shores of Lake Geneva. Rebellion’s timepieces are crafted in extremely limited quantities, with precision-engineered cases and exclusive movements. All of Rebellion’s research, development and production takes place in Switzerland, where the very highest standards are both demanded and obtained. Rebellion blends highly sophisticated technical know-how, including high-tech precision lasers, with an uncompromising approach to quality. Rebellion creates trends it doesn’t follow them and their timepieces are for those who demand a very exclusive, high quality, high-tech wristwatch. Generating deep emotion, Rebellion’s exclusive and ageless watches provide a sophisticated and powerful contemporary identity for today’s dynamic generation. Rebellion is geared toward the fiercest of individualists.
TIMEPIECES
The Rebellion family of contemporary timepieces share common traits in terms of their highly sophisticated technical design and construction, innovative movements, modular cases, three-dimensional indications and visuals, and their impeccable quality. But what most sets Rebellion's timepieces apart is their radical non-conformist nature. Full of design cues originating in the world of motor sport, Rebellion Timepieces are high -performance racing cars for the wrist.
RE-1
An active, sporty lifestyle requires a wristwatch to match, one that both looks fantastic and functions reliably when only seconds separate the winners from the also-rans. Rebellion’s RE-1 cam-lever chronograph with date is all that and more. Not so much ‘denim and lace’ as ‘denim and steel!’ First released in 2008, the RE-1 has undergone a revamp and a rebirth in 2009. Award-winning watch designer Eric Giroud has re-examined and re-worked every detail of the case to emphasize its strength and power. The RE-1 now features Rebellion’s distinctive signature helice screw heads, larger diameter crown – more masculine and easier to use – plus new wedge-shaped chronograph pushers that feel as good as they look.
RE-5
With the REB-5, Rebellion Timepieces hauls that most noble and regal of horological mechanisms, the tourbillon, from its 18th century roots at high speed into the 21st century. Rebellion have now taken the tourbillon and made it their own! In making a complete revolution every 60 seconds, Rebellion’s one-minute tourbillon ensures high precision timekeeping and more - much more! Rotating a tourbillon cage each and every minute consumes considerable energy so the majority have a relatively short power reserve. However, Rebellion’s REB-5 stands out from the crowd, both technically and aesthetically, by using twin mainspring barrels to provide a massive seven days of power! It is an achievement perhaps less surprising on discovering that the movement was developed specifically for Rebellion by renowned Swiss master watchmaker Laurent Besse.
RE-7
The Regulator timepiece has an almost mystical status in horological history due to its traditional role as the reference clock used by the watchmaker to time the accuracy of all other clocks and watches. Rebellion’s stunning REB-7 takes that traditional Regulator design and reinvents it for the 21st century. Displaying both the minutes and seconds centrally has enabled Rebellion to include a very legible large date indication as well as providing easy reading of the exact time. Developed to Rebellion’s exacting specifications by master watchmaker Laurent Besse, the audacious REB-7 offers as much in the way of technical surprise as it does in the way of aggressive visual excitement.
