The Designer
Ruedi Külling - The Designer Ruedi Külling's story is that of a successful idealist. Born in 1935, he first worked as a successful sales promoter and graphic designer. Fired by this success, he plucked up the courage to start designing watches himself. After one and a half years of preparation, the time was ripe: Külling presented his new brand Xemex Swiss Watch with its product philosophy, and launched his first line, "Offroad". | ![]() Külling reduces things to the bare essentials. Clear forms, functional but nevertheless stylish, are the foundation of his designs. Watches serve to show the time, without which they would be useless. Readability is therefore of prime importance; it is achieved through the clarity of the design. Watches make people, they express their identity and underline their individual personality. |
