The Helbros Watch Company was founded in 1913 in Geneva, Switzerland, by the Helbein brothers, immigrants from Russia. The company's name is a portmanteau of the Helbein brothers' last name. Helbros quickly became known for its affordable and high-quality watches.
In the early 1920s, Helbros began exporting its watches to the United States. The company's watches were quickly embraced by American consumers, and Helbros became one of the leading watch brands in the United States.
During World War II, Helbros produced watches for the US military. Helbros watches were known for their durability and reliability, and they were worn by soldiers on both sides of the Atlantic.
After the war, Helbros continued to produce popular watches for the consumer market. The company introduced a number of innovative new watch designs, including the Chronograph, the Skin Diver, and the Microvision.
Today, Helbros is one of the most respected American watch brands. The company's watches are known for their durability, reliability, and stylish designs. Helbros watches are worn by people all over the world, and the brand continues to be a leader in the watchmaking industry.
Helbros watches are also known for their relatively affordable prices, making them a popular choice for both watch enthusiasts and casual watch wearers alike.
