Biatec is an independent mechanical watch manufacturer established in 2016 and based in Zvolen, Slovakia. The brand was founded by Peter Kozar, who previously worked in the watch industry, alongside co-founder and designer Miloš Jakubec. The name “Biatec” draws inspiration from ancient Celtic coins minted in the territory of modern-day Bratislava during the first century B.C., linking the company to Slovak history and heritage.
Watch enthusiasts and collectors are drawn to Biatec for its focus on local assembly, limited production runs, and traditional mechanical watchmaking. The timepieces utilize Swiss-made mechanical movements, high-grade materials, and distinct design details, such as casebacks and dials inspired by historical motifs. Additionally, the brand operates primarily through a direct-to-consumer model and provides a five-year warranty on its products.
Biatec’s lineup features several distinct collections: – Corsair: An aviation-style watch line characterized by high legibility and military instrument aesthetics. – Majestic: A collection of dress watches that includes limited editions, such as models featuring detailed three-dimensional maps of Bratislava on the dial. – Leviathan: A series of robust dive timepieces built with high water resistance and durable cases. – Marine: Timepieces inspired by classic maritime watch design principles. – Fusion: A collection featuring sports watch aesthetics with integrated bracelets and continuous case-to-strap lines.
