A 21st Century Swiss Watch Maker. Stronger Than Time. Since opening their Basel workshop in 2011, ADVOLAT has enjoyed a growing reputation for their uncompromising focus on quality and a minimalistic design approach. Formed in the Internet age, the company's founder Wolf Franke saw an opportunity to combine Swiss watchmaking tradition with a modern business model that bypasses the usual chain of middlemen in the watch industry. For the customer, this means Swiss luxury watches made with the best materials - available at a very reasonable price point. All watch models are limited edition runs of either 888 or 8888 pieces. When a model sells out it, will never be reproduced. This makes owning an ADVOLAT timepiece a unique and personal experience.
