History of the WRX
The first WRX was designed by Frank Huyghe in 2007. Born from the feedback of the WR1, the world record of depth in autonomous scuba diving, the wish of the creator of RALF TECH was to go beyond what had been achieved by creating a model out of limits. “To go beyond modes we have to work without preconceived ideas. Only the vision of the product is successful and the constraints linked to its use should lead us to a certain restraint.” The pencil stroke is clean and uncompromising. Cushioned and round shapes blend together to form a homogeneous watch capable of being on familiar terms with the deepest depths. A pre-series was thus created in 2008. One expedition follows another and the WRX is increasingly distancing itself from classic watch production. In 2010, the French special forces set off on a mission on the other side of the world with WRXs. Feedback from the operators of the French Navy’s Commando Hubert will give rise to the definitive series, slightly modified and improved. The path is now clear: instinct, initial design, feedback and final design.
