History of Riskers

Riskers Watches is a brand inspired by the 1st World War trench watch, a legendary model that celebrates those who take risks for others. The company was co-founded by Pierre Guerrier, who previously worked for Piaget, and serial entrepreneur Thomas Noël, along with other ex-Richemont employees.

The brand’s timepieces are linked to stories of heroism and recall the earliest artisanal World War One trench watches. Riskers honors real-life heroes with its inaugural line of trench-watch-inspired timepieces, paying tribute to the brave soldiers of the First World War who first popularized the wristwatch tradition.

The brand’s first watch, the Riskers Prolog I, and Chapter I is a value proposition launch that revisits history when wristwatches were rare and timepieces were essential for soldiers on the battlefield. The company’s focus on celebrating bravery and honoring real-life heroes is evident in its design and brand philosophy.
