About the Helbros brand :
The name "Helbros" is a contraction of "Helbein Brothers", the family name of the brand's founders. The Helbein Brothers, of German origin, immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century and founded their company in New York in 1913. Since then, Helbros has become a well-established American watch brand, known for its quality, affordability and wide variety of watch styles and designs. Although the brand stopped producing watches in the 1970s, pre-owned Helbros watches are sought after by collectors today for their history and vintage design...

It is important to note that while most Helbros watches were produced in the USA, some were also produced in Switzerland and Germany. The brand collaborated with Swiss manufacturers to produce certain watch models, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, to benefit from Swiss watchmaking quality and expertise.
