Stowa
Top 12 in Top 12 Best German Watch Brands
Walter Storz founded Stowa in 1927, and the company attained its highest output in the 1930s and 1940s while producing Bauhaus-inspired timepieces and later pilot watches for the Luftwaffe to enable German fighter pilots in World War II.
The pricey watch business was handed down from father to son before being purchased in 1996 by Jörg Schauer from Walter Storz's son Werner. Stowa most recently merged with Tempus Arte GmbH & Co. KG in 2021.
Stowa now does its business entirely online and is renowned for its remarkable watch collections, Flieger and Antea.
