History

Rebellion writing an original passion play

Once upon a time there were two young boys, childhood friends who were passionate about cars and construction toys. The boys grew up to be men, but their passions remained the same.

The Rebellion adventure began in 2007 with some pretty unusual ideas, sketches drawn on the back of an envelope and plenty of heated debate. The brand was launched a year later, and although there were inevitable teething problems the passion was never in doubt. Collectors, looking for something a bit different, very quickly grew interested in the brand.

In 2009 Rebellion consolidated by appointing prestigious partners such as Laurent Besse for the conception of two new movements and Eric Giroud for the design of a new version of the original case. Baselworld 2009 was an unqualified success, with the establishment of the first markets and points of sale throughout the world.

The tenacity and stubbornness of Rebellion’s founders had triumphed, and the same character traits can be found in the world of endurance car racing of Le Mans, another shared passion to which Rebellion is completely committed through the Swiss team, Speedy Racing Team Sebah. In 2009 two cars will be entered in the prototype class, a Lola B08/80-Judd V8 and a Lola B08/60-Aston Martin V12, each with exceptional drivers.

The Rebellion adventure has only just begun. We hope you will stay with us as our story unfolds: a story of passion.
