RISKERS it's the watch in sync with the times and that takes us back to our core values. This new watch brand is cut out for heroes and we are happy to see the promising beginnings of a brand that has attitude yet humane.

Riskers, a hero's watch

A return to fundamentals; to courage, the courage to undertake and above all courage made available to others. A watch with a design both vintage and timeless, inspired by the first watches worn by the French infantry during WW1 and pays tribute to these real heroes who gave their lives for France.

The RISKERS watch is not only a watch that tells time, it is a a timekeeper who reminds us every day of who we are, our values; it anchors us in reality and brings us back to our fundamentals.

Riskers celebrates those who take risks for others.

What courage to have started from scratch a new watch brand that respects all the codes of luxury with an unprecedented price point and certainly a more realistic positioning on the current market.

"Risk? It's taking a decision. Any decision requires a renunciation. Certain renouncements bring immense joy!"

Guillaume d’Aboville

Riskers, a story of Men

We also salute the support of this new brand for actions that make sense and for men who surpass themselves every day, taking risks for others. Indeed, behind these timepieces, a prestigious partnership has been built with the army corps Troupes de Montagne and with ambassadors with edifying backgrounds: the soldier Albert Roche, Pierre Muller and Guillaume d’Aboville. In search of consistency and commitment, Riskers financially supports their humanitarian causes.

For the moment 4 watches are offered on sale: two automatic and two quartz. Watches with a rather masculine design, but what woman has never borrowed her man's watch?

Limited editions like Prolog I ( 518), Chapter II ( 1027) and Chapter III (1096). Funds donated to the Œuvre Nationale du Bleuet de France which help families of soldiers who today continue to take great risks (PrologI ). The Entraide Montagne, who come to aid the wounded and to the families of these anonymous heroes (Chapter II) and to the Fondation de Douleur Sans Frontières or the Enfants du Mekong (chapter III).

To make this quest a reality and make these great projects come to be, Riskers have the ambition to raise 25,000 euros on Kickstarter to manufacture the first watches. After a few days, the target was met by 400% since 100,000 euros had been reached!

Today you can order directly from the Riskers website, with a planned delivery in June 2020 for a very advantageous prince.
