In April 1767, Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Baden laid the
groundwork for the development of the watch industry in Pforzheim,
Germany. Already by that time, more than 240 years ago, the
early foundation of the watch and jewelry industry had taken
place, with the construction of a watch factory housed in an
orphanage. He wanted to give the orphans the opportunity for
economical independence by teaching them a valuable trade.
Pforzheim's worldwide importance as the center of the German
watch and jewelry business was established by the beginning
of the 20th century.

Karl
Ickler founded the Ickler family business in 1924. He had previously
worked as head of the manufacturing department for foreign companies.
With this treasure of experience, he founded his own watch case
manufacture. In 1947, his two sons rebuilt production, which had
lay fallow during the war. |

Today the company is managed by the third-generation Thomas Ickler.
Ickler manufactures premiere quality watches and watch cases, made
to the highest quality standards, for a demanding international clientele
- all made in Germany.
The cases are crafted in-house, from solid blocks of stainless steel,
pure titanium or 18 carat gold. The highly experienced employees use
the latest high tech CNC machinery, which is guaranteeing ultimate
precision. When it comes to polishing the surfaces, assembling parts
and complete watches, and thorough quality control, Ickler relies
on the careful human touch.

The LIMES brand
Ickler started making private label watches in 1990. With a
desire to contribute their decades of experience in the watch
industry, they began planning the LIMES brand a few years later.
With a fascination for fine, mechanical watches crafted mainly
by hand, the concept was born: High quality mechanical movements
combined with top grade Ickler made cases.
The LIMES collection includes the elegant Pharo family, the
sporty Endurance time pieces and exclusive lady's watches.
