Founded in France in 1948, YEMA is one of those brands that have left their mark on the history of watchmaking through their boldness and pioneering spirit. Proud of its French roots, the company has been developing technical, reliable, and elegant watches for over 70 years, designed to accompany enthusiasts of adventure and precision.
YEMA is now part of the MAIER Vintage selection at 16 rue des Archers in Lyon. This addition illustrates the boutique's ongoing commitment to offering iconic brands with a genuine watchmaking heritage and authentic expertise.
Since its inception, YEMA has distinguished itself through its ability to design robust watches, designed for action and the great outdoors.

A pioneer in its field, YEMA has developed its own mechanical movements in France, perpetuating the national watchmaking tradition. Each creation reflects a high level of excellence, combining technical precision, robustness, and understated elegance. More than just a timepiece, a YEMA watch tells a story: one of a passion for measuring time, mastery of craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence.
