The Journey Continues – With the ENCORE Edition
Celebrating 25 Years of Horological Innovation
To honor its 25th anniversary, VOGARD returns with a comeback in 2026. The ENCORE collection with 25 extraordinary pieces. Each creation is a masterpiece, infused with the brand’s original DNA and inspired by themes of travel, iconic destinations, and daring material and color combinations.
Founded in 2001 by watch afficionado Mike Vogt, VOGARD set out with a bold ambition: to craft the ultimate mechanical traveler’s watch. This vision came to life at Baselworld 2003, where the world was introduced to the patented Worldtimer mechanism—a revolutionary innovation allowing wearers to change time zones with a simple twist of the bezel. The option to engrave personal cities on the bezel elevated each watch into a deeply personal companion, leaving a lasting mark on the watchmaking industry.
Between 2003 and 2013, thousands of VOGARD timepieces found their way onto wrists across the globe, cherished by connoisseurs and adventurers alike. In 2014, the intellectual property was acquired by a renowned watch group, ensuring the mechanism’s place on the world stage.
Now, in 2026, VOGARD will celebrate its legacy with the ENCORE Edition—a rare collection of 25 unique watches that embody the spirit of innovation, individuality, and timeless mechanical artistry.
The Encore Edition – a timeless celebration of VOGARD’s voyage through time zones and innovation.
The Flagship model - Encore Nr 1 with SiTin-Case
The Material – A Fusion of Fire and Precision
SiTin is not an alloy. It is a high‑tech ceramic coating born in high‑density plasma (HDP) process, where titanium and silicon are ignited at extreme temperatures and fused with nitrogen. This intense reaction creates a hard, resilient layer that transforms steel into a material of remarkable strength and beauty.
The Origin – Engineered for Ultimate Tools
SiTin comes from the micro‑tool industry where milling cutters and drills must survive brutal forces and temperatures reaching 1000°C. This is a realm of uncompromising performance, where only the toughest coatings survive. By bringing SiTin into watchmaking, VOGARD bridges two worlds—extreme industrial precision and refined Swiss craftsmanship
The Performance – A case built for a lifetime
On the flagship ENCORE model, SiTin acts as a protective ceramic armor. It delivers three to four times the scratch resistance of traditional steel while preserving both satin and polished finishes. This is durability elevated to artistry. A watch designed not just to last a lifetime, but to look magnificent every day of it.
The Look – The Signature of VOGARD
VOGARD chose SiTin for its soul as much as its strength. When the plasma settles, it reveals a warm, refined bronze tone—VOGARD’s iconic corporate identity color. Unlike natural bronze metal, it never oxidizes or fades. Paired with the black dial and bronze hands, the watch radiates a timeless elegance that speaks directly to collectors.
