An Aristo APOLLO stopwatch manufactured in Switzerland in the 1970s.
Julius Epple founded Aristo in 1907 in Pforzheim, Germany. Aristo was known then, and still today, for producing German made precision timepieces.
In the 1970s, Aristo outsourced some of their stopwatch production to Swiss manufacturer E. Schlup-Abrecht. Erwin Schlup supplied Aristo with stopwatches housing mechanical, 7-jewel, pin lever, manual-wind movements like the Baumgartner Freres Group (BFG) caliber 414 used inside this Aristo stopwatch.
Schlup sold stopwatches under their own brand – HERWINS SUPER hattrick, which is embossed on the back of this stopwatch. Of note, Erwin Schlup’s brothers Fritz, Ernst, and Werner Schlup founded Schlup & Co. in 1917, which grew into the Swiss watch brand RADO.
This example is a near mint yellow cased Aristo APOLLO stopwatch with lanyard and box. No papers. Keeping precise mechanical time.
