On December 30, 1909, the name VIDAR was entered into the Swiss trademark register in Solothurn — marking the beginning of a story that would unfold alongside the great traditions of Swiss watchmaking.
Through world wars, industrial transformation, and the quartz revolution that reshaped the industry, the name endured — carried forward by successive generations of stewards while remaining rooted in the enduring values of Swiss mechanical craft.
Today, more than a century after its founding, VIDAR is stewarded by the Vidar family, guiding the house toward its 120-year milestone and shaping the role it will play in the century ahead.
