Brand History

FRITZ MEYER (1859-1926)

The story of ROAMER, the brand of high-quality Swiss watches, begins with the ideal of its pioneering founder, Fritz Meyer (1859-1926), to create a robust yet elegant watch, a precious accessory which everyone would love to own. With this goal, he sets up his own business in Solothurn, Switzerland – a workshop with six employees producing cylinder escapements for the watch industry.

SOLOTHURN ROAMER OFFICE 1895

Within only 7 years, the company grows to 60 employees and produces complete watches. In the same year the company develops its first own calibre and names it number 38 to commemorate the 38th birthday of the company’s founder.

THE BIG CHANGE 1905

The «MST» movements developed and constructed by Meyer and Stüdeli quickly acquire an excellent reputation for their high precision and reliability in and beyond Switzerland. The manufacture continues to grow and a spacious new factory to accommodate 300 workers opens its doors. ROAMER, the name of the most successful line, is registered as a trademark in Switzerland.

SOLEURE LAUNCH IN 1907

This year heralds one of the most significant milestones for the fledgling company: Fritz Meyer enters into a partnership with Johann Stüdeli, who is trained and experienced in the art and tradition of the watchmaker’s craft. This is the start of the legendary «MST» watch.

FURTHER GROWTH 1923

The watch production soars to one million units a year and the company begins to produce its own cases to control the overall quality and to reduce its dependency on external suppliers.

Swiss Producton

In 1940, The company now employs more than 1,200 people and starts to produce its own dials. An astute case providing excellent dust and water-resistance and simplifying servicing procedures is designed, developed and patented.

Birth of The Roamer Watch Brand

In 1952, the company name is changed to that of its most successful brand, becoming ROAMER Watch Co. SA, under which the famous timepieces have been sold ever since.

Couldn't be happier with the purchase itself and the service that followed. Will def be buying more from Fargo Time. Also sized my watch for free!

Gorgeous watch

Authentic and More for Value

One of the best watch i have and it is really very original and authentic and Fargo Times in Ridgeway Plaza are very professional and customer friendly

Pictures didn’t do it justice. Way nicer in person.

10/10 goes to Fargo Time

I love the watch—but this review is for the vendor. I knew what I was getting. I purchased this watch for a personal event and Fargo Time (who was delayed on receipt due to the manufacturer) reached out and sent the package overnight—called, confirmed the new address, and got it to promptly. They went above and beyond. I would absolutely purchase through them again.

Tissot PRX 35mm Blue Dial Unisex Battery Watch
Janielle Sebastian Agpalo (Edmonton, CA)
Best entry level Swiss made watch! 🙌

This is an amazing go to watch that can be worn dress up or casual. The version I got is the Tissot PRX quartz in 35 mm, which is basically the one to one copy of the original Tissot that was released in ‘78! overall this is probably one of the best watch that money can buy. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Great Deal!

Purchased the PRX 40MM. What a great discount from Fargo Time. 100% Legit

The black dial is not a sunburst. The watch is nice and subtle just as expected.

Will purchase here again in the future!

Great prices

Took a little longer than i expected but overall very satisfied!

Seiko 5 Sports 42 mm Men's Automatic Watch

First online purchase of a watch

I looked at a number of online retailers and was pleased to find one with a storefront in my same province and lots of good reviews. Watch was received exactly when they said it would be and was delivered by canada post and required a receipt which was appreciated as so many online deliveries are just left at the door. Very pleased with my purchase and would buy again from Fargo Time.

Great value, Great watch

I am an avid watch collector, this is an excellent watch for the money, happy with this purchase.

Tissot PRX

A high-quality, genuine watch registered with Tissot
Nice one!

Exactly what I wanted

Shipping was exceptionally quick

Tissot Seastar 1000 40mm

Excellent. Watch arrived just as described and factory wrapped. Very pleased with the purchase.

"high tech" polymer escapement

Originally bought this for the two-tone aesthetics. It looks even better in person especially the hands and dial. It's now my favorite dive style watch. I would have given 5 stars but was not thrilled with the idea of a polymer escape wheel and pallet fork in the movement, but others have reported no issues with them so I didn't let it prevent my purchase.

Seiko 5 Sports SKX 55

Order arrived as described, in mint condition, and 100% authentic. Included full box set w/ all appropriate warranty cards/documentation.
Watch came in full protective (bezel, bracelet, clasp) factory plastic wrap.
Lowest price I could find in 🇨🇦 or anywhere else for that matter.
Very satisfied, highly recommend Fargotime.com!
Thank you very much ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

TISSOT seastar 1000
