Schwarz Etienne

For over one hundred years, the watch manufacturer Schwarz Etienne has endeavoured to transform its century-old tradition into a watchmaking art which is constantly evolving. From the beginning of the 20th century to this day, its motto has never failed; Schwarz Etienne has been in movement since 1902, following an extraordinary, uninterrupted industrial trajectory.

In 2007, Schwarz Etienne became a manufacture by manufacturing his own automatic and hand winding mechanical movements. Most of the components are also manufactured in house, to say that the Schwarz Etienne has become autonomous and wants to be able to ensure that the work completed in its production.

Schwarz Etienne’s values have remained unchanged since the company’s creation in 1902: quality, authenticity and respect for watchmaking traditions. The intrinsic values of the craftsmanship which forged the reputation of the family business, to this day remain the keywords of its prosperous successors.
