**Wyler** is a Swiss watch manufacturer.

===== History =====
Watch company founded by Paul Wyler in [[1896]]. It was known for its rugged and shockproof movements and models.

Paul Wyler gained seven patents for his innovations. So in [[1927]] he invented the "Incaflex [[balance spring]]", which was resistant to impact, and in [[1932]] received for this a patent. The two spokes of the balance wheel had been made serpentine and of an elastic alloy. As a result, the [[pivot]] of the [[balance staff]] was better protected against lateral impact.

Worldwide attention was attracted by a spectacular Wyler marketing campaign in [[1956]], when two watches were allowed to fall from the top of the Eiffel Tower and still functioned unchanged after the fall.

===== The Revival of the Brand =====
Since [[2006]] Wyler belongs to the Binda Group and is now named **Wyler Genève**.
