History of Royce ( Eska ) : Eska is one of the lesser known quality Swiss watch companies making a variety of watches including hand wind , divers and mechanical examples.

Simple watches including chronometer watches and watches with complications were part of the product mix, including chronographs, calendar watches and models with digital displays.

Interestingly, S. & E. Kocher and co. also made mechanical watches in “Reverso” cases as pioneered by Jaeger LeCoultre, notably producting these when their creator concern had temporarily abandoned the style. It would seem that Eska was probably not what could be termed a “primary” watchmaking concern, and movements were bought in, including at least some from ETA.

Eska was therefore likely to be an assembler and finisher of its watches, and movements were certainly signed by Eska Watch.

The final end of the Eska company came some time in the 1980s, and it is not known for how long the brand legend “ROYCE” was used on various Eska watches. The name seems to have been owned by Kocher from the beginning, and there are certainly Royce-marked mechanical watches from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
