CERTINA

Certina S.A., a distinguished Swiss watch brand, traces its roots back to 1888 in Grenchen. Founded by visionary brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth, they established a pioneering movement and supplies factory that catered to the watchmaking industry in Switzerland. In 1906, a remarkable milestone was achieved as Certina began producing complete watches, introducing the brand name "Grana" to the world.

The brand's commitment to excellence was recognized in 1924 when Certina became officially registered at the Federal Office of Intellectual Property on 15 February. As time progressed, Certina continued to flourish, creating an extensive range of exceptional timepieces under its esteemed name.

Today, Certina stands proudly as a cherished member of the prestigious Swatch Group, epitomizing the embodiment of Swiss watchmaking heritage and innovation.

However, when shooting indoors, please note that we use lightboxes equipped with 360 LED bulbs, which can magnify any flaws that may be less noticeable to the naked eye. That said, we never use Photoshop to alter our images or remove blemishes. While we may adjust the lighting as needed, what you see is what you get, and we take pride in that.
