Glock Watches: Austrian Heritage Meets Tactical Timekeeping

Presented by Embix Watch Importing Co. – Exclusive Canadian Distributor At Embix, we have always prioritized innovation, craftsmanship, and heritage in the brands we bring to Canada. We are proud to introduce GLOCK Watches—a timepiece collection forged from the same values that made the GLOCK name a global standard in precision engineering. Understanding the origins of GLOCK is essential to appreciating the remarkable story behind this unique watch line—and why it represents an opportunity for Canadian jewellers to offer something both meaningful and distinctive. Built in Austria, Respected Worldwide GLOCK’s journey began in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria in 1963, founded by engineer Gaston Glock. Originally specializing in polymers and metal parts for military and civilian products, the company’s engineering prowess became clear early on. In the early 1980s, GLOCK changed the world of firearms with the launch of its GLOCK 17 pistol. The lightweight polymer frame, unmatched durability, and proprietary Safe Action® System redefined expectations. It quickly became the standard sidearm for countless military, law enforcement, and civilian users worldwide. That same commitment to purpose-driven design is now found in every GLOCK Watch. Watches That Reflect the GLOCK Philosophy GLOCK Watches are not simply lifestyle accessories—they are built with the brand’s original principles of performance, functionality, and endurance in mind. Designed in Europe, these timepieces combine modern materials and technology with rugged aesthetics. Key characteristics include: Tactical-Inspired Design Many models feature slide-serration patterns on the bezel, serial-style case backs, and textured straps modelled after GLOCK’s firearm grips. These details are subtle but unmistakable. Engineered to Endure Crafted from stainless steel or titanium, and rated up to 20 ATM water resistance, these watches are made for real-world use. They are rugged without sacrificing elegance. Advanced Timekeeping Technology GLOCK Watches offer a diverse range of movements—from Swiss analog to solar-powered digital hybrids.
