In the late 17th century, Holland was a central player in the world of clock-making. Today, The Netherlands is the hub of precision engineering with renowned companies in the field, such as ASML, Philips, and NXP. Flexous brings this knowledge and expertise to the watch industry.

Balance spring
Christiaan Huygens was the first to use a balance spring principle for watches in 1675. This principle is still fundamental to the timekeeping of mechanical watches.

THE SPARC OF INNOVATION
It started with our founder Nima Tolou taking a flight at Schiphol. At the security check, the officer accidentally dropped his mechanical watch. It stopped ticking. This event triggered the question:
What if there was a way to make mechanical watches more reliable?

Zenith Defy lab
On 14 September 2017, Swiss watchmaker Zenith presented the new Zenith Defy lab watch. Flexous was part of the effective synergy in developing this new oscillator, which was designed monolithically and was made from silicon. This technology facilitated the most accurate mechanical watch ever made until then.

2019
Frederique Constant Slimline Monolithic
Our watch partner Frederique Constant launched their Slimline Monolithic Manufacture with the latest Flexous oscillator inside. The oscillator runs at an astonishing speed of 40Hz and delivers double the runtime, at an unprecedented size of just 9,8 mm in diameter and only 0,3 mm in thickness. This is currently the only high-volume silicon oscillator on the market. It marked the start of a new sector in the watch industry. You can find more information here.
