Creativity is the ability to think “outside the box”, outside of the established, according to Pieric “Rick” De La Croix, president of BOMBERG. His vision is to create and establish a brand of lifelong watches with international exposure, creating a new, unexplored market space instead of competing in an existing one; a brand that does not put much focus on potential competitors but rather on the needs and desires of the community that makes up its target audience, thus capturing demand at the time of its emergence.

The new 1968 FIXED MEN CHRONO is made primarily of stainless steel, comes in 6 different colors and combinations: red, green, blue, silver, black and all black.

The FIXED 1968 MEN CHRONO, with a 45 mm case is no exception to the rest of the collection and features a changeable strap, dependent on the mood and personality of the wearer. The strap comes in silicone or leather. The position of the button at 12:00 is a hallmark of the BOMBERG brand.

Characterized by texture, detail and vibrant colors, the collage portraits work equally well from up close or from a distance.’
