The founder: Giselle Rufer
Asking Giselle Rufer what Delance means is like asking Freud what a dream means. The answer is not so much convoluted as it is full of symbols that, in a sense, substitute for language.

Founder of Delance Swiss Watches
In May of 1996, equipped with degrees in engineering and art education along with ten years of experience in the watch industry, Giselle Rufer launched this Delance watch.
Gradually, Giselle Rufer has made a mark on the watch industry utilizing connections, friends, family and other aides-de-camp to expand her vision from her home base in Macolin, Switzerland to the rest of the world.
The exceptional proviso of Delance is that it is owned and operated solely by women, including the artisans, the watchmakers. For Giselle Rufer, there was no other way to execute her idea of creating a universal symbol of femininity than by contracting women.
I created the Delance watch as a Taliswoman who can encourage women to be the maker of their destiny. It has been an irresistible need, like a mission to accomplish for me and every woman.
A lot of converging reasons brought me to this creation. I need to tell them:
Being a women is wonderful, is magic, is mysterious. Gather your courage and be all that you can be!
