Some watches simply tell time. Others tell stories of triumph, resilience, and endurance. Hercules Watches belongs to the latter category—a brand that has been crafting reliable timepieces for adventurers and summit conquerors since 1953.
The latest model, Hercules Micro-Rotor Automatic, is the perfect fusion of innovation and heritage. Featuring a unique micro-rotor movement, precise Swiss craftsmanship, and a design inspired by legendary mountaineering expeditions, this watch is built to accompany its wearer everywhere—from business meetings to the world’s highest peaks.
To bring this craftsmanship closer to watch enthusiasts, Hercules Watches has opened a new boutique in Saint-Prex, Switzerland. More than just a store, it is a space where heritage meets horology, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the precision, durability, and mountaineering legacy of the brand.
A Watch That Conquered Nanga Parbat and Everest
In 1953, legendary Austrian climber Hermann Buhl became the first person to solo summit Nanga Parbat (8,126m)—a mountain so treacherous it was called the “Killer Mountain.” Before him, 31 climbers had attempted the ascent and perished.
During this historic expedition, Buhl wore a Hercules watch, which remained fully functional despite the extreme altitude, freezing temperatures, and brutal winds. This spirit of resilience and performance in the harshest conditions is embedded in every Hercules timepiece, especially in the latest Hercules Micro-Rotor Automatic—a modern masterpiece in fine watchmaking.
Hercules Micro-Rotor Automatic – Where Alpinism Meets Precision Engineering
The signature feature of this watch is its Swiss in-house micro-rotor movement, delivering 70+ hours of power reserve while maintaining a thin yet robust profile.
🔹 Chronometer-certified (ISO/CEI 3159) – ensuring absolute precision.
🔹 SuperLuminova BRW9-engraved mountain topography – glowing at night as a tribute to mountaineering heritage.
🔹 9.4mm slim case – sleek yet built to endure.
🔹 Tungsten rotor with yellow gold finishing – enhancing automatic winding efficiency.
🔹 “Snow Mist” dial texture – inspired by the icy, rugged beauty of mountain peaks.
🔹 Premium straps in fine leather or sport-grade silicone – adaptable to any lifestyle.
This is a timepiece for those who live by the mantra: "No compromises—only summits!"
