The foundation of Maxima Watches rests upon a legacy of horological engineering that began in 1966 under the PA Group. Operating with high-precision Swiss Petermann lathes, our industrial journey started by machining intricate mechanical movement spares. Over decades of innovation, we advanced to full mechanical movement production through joint Swiss technical collaborations, pioneered quartz movement assembly in the late 1980s, and introduced the industry’s first guaranteed waterproof watch case range in 1996.
Unlike basic assembly shops or trading intermediaries, our vertically integrated manufacturing facility controls every aspect of production: from raw stainless steel bar stock machining, carbon fiber compression molding, and high-temperature ceramic powder sintering, to microscopic gasket alignment, laser engraving, and dual-stage hydro-pressure testing. This heritage ensures every watch case delivered to our partners in Riyadh embodies uncompromising reliability and craft.
