The first step of a truly Portuguese wristwatch

Les Tugas is the most Portuguese wristwatch ever made, designed and drawn in Portugal. Inside, it features an ETA 2824 movement, one of the most reliable Swiss calibres, possibly the result of the work of many Portuguese watchmakers both in Switzerland and in Portugal.

O resultado é o relógio de pulso mais português da história, mas é também a criação de uma rede de serviços de relojoaria que pode servir todas as marcas que virão. Oferecemos o conhecimento através da nossa escola e disponibilizamos a rede que montámos a todos os interessados em criar relojoaria portuguesa porque: 

Les Tugas — somos todos nós!

The First Portuguese Wristwatch

We consider Les Tugas to be the first Portuguese wristwatch.

We established as criteria that 70% of the production costs are allocated to Portugal, as well as the fact that all design, research, and development that led to the project are carried out on Portuguese territory, together with the final inspection and regulation of each piece.

These are criteria commonly used to determine the national origin of a product and reflect Les Tugas’ commitment to production, craftsmanship, and Portuguese identity.

… It is all of us.

We chose this expression and use it with a humorous tone. The finest watches are usually associated with French-speaking countries, yet many of them are, to a large extent, born from the hands of Tugas. That is why we are all Les Tugas.

Gallery

Four vertical strokes crossed by a fifth diagonal evoke the primordial human gesture of counting and marking time. Each stroke represents one of the essential phases of the watchmaking process — conception, manufacturing, finishing, and assembly. The fifth, which crosses all the others, symbolises the synthesis of these stages: the coherence, rigour, and technical mastery that characterise contemporary Portuguese watchmaking.
