History of Gavox

Founded in 2011

In 2014, Gavox officially became watchmaker for the 15th Wing and the 350 Squadron, two Belgian air force squadrons. Now Gavox make watches for 14 Squadrons with over 500 pilots wearing their watch in flight. GAVOX: easy to pronounce in every language, the novel name Gavox combines the Greek “galaxias” (our universe, the milky way), and the latin “vox” (voice). The mission of Gavox, “voice of our universe”, is to produce timing instruments inspired by explorers who dared to go higher, farther, deeper. As an engineer and pilot, the founder wanted a name that reflected his passion for technology, astronomy and space exploration and quality timepieces that could be used by professionals on the field.
