History
In the early 1980s, Invicta went bankrupt and was sold in 1983 to Ondix S.A, which continued producing Invicta watches in Switzerland. Ondix folded due to disappointing sales, and Invicta was re-established in 1991 when acquired by Eyal Lalo.[4] In April 2016, Invicta acquired Swiss watch manufacturer Glycine, with Invicta's CEO promising to respect Glycine's independence as it supports the Swiss watchmaker financially.[5]
On June 1, 2023, Invicta's US retail division, Invicta Stores, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with plans to close some of its physical retail locations.[6]
