For the Swiss, the crossbow is inseparably linked to the legend of William Tell, the champion of freedom of the 14th century, who refused to bow before the Hapsburg Governor Gessler in the Swiss town of Altdorf. As a penalty he was compelled using his crossbow, to shoot an apple placed on the head of his son. He was successful and gained renown far beyond his own borders. WESTAR watches likewise are products of precision and devotion. Within a short span of 10 years the fame and success of WESTAR has spread to over thirty countries. WESTAR watches are fashionable products reflecting style, elegant and precision. As a fitting tribute to this legend , we have chosen William Tell's crossbow as the symbol of WESTAR.
