History

  • Origins (1920s): The Rone trademark was first registered in Switzerland in 1921, followed by a UK registration in 1951.

  • The British Connection: Rone was closely associated with the Neale family, the owners of the iconic London jeweler Bravingtons. They imported and retailed these Swiss-movement watches to the UK market.

  • Mid-Century Peak (1940s–1970s): The brand gained popularity with accessible, stylish timepieces. They used high-quality components, utilizing reliable ébauches from Swiss movement makers like FHF (Fontainemelon) and shock protection systems like Incabloc.

  • Notable Models: Popular vintage lines included the Rone Sportsmans, Rone Countryman, Rone Fifteen, and Rone Seventeen.
