Watches with leather strap

The Certina brand's direct predecessor, a watch movement workshop, was founded by brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth in the Swiss town of Grenchen in 1888. The company chose the name Certina on the occasion of the 50^th anniversary of its founding in 1938. At that time, the family business still had a reputation as a state-of-the-art watchmaker, which brought expansion into foreign markets. A significant milestone in the brand's history came shortly after the interest in strengthening its position in the sports sector. It was DS - Double Security technology, which increased the watch's durability by using a combination of sapphire crystal and additional seals on the crown and reinforced lid. The DS system has contributed to the brand's popularity among famous athletes, which has helped make Certina the leader in the middle class of watches. Enthusiasm for sports has also been transferred to design. Robust steel cases and straps, however, they are easy to wear. Of course, the brand also offers purely elegant ladies and men's models. Certina watches are equipped with precise quartz and mechanical movements from the Swiss ETA plant, which, like Certina, is a member of the Swatch group.

Certina is one of the Swiss luxury watch brands that are part of The Swatch Group. This is a quality, accurate watch whose history dates back to 1888. But how did this watch come to be and why is it one of the most desirable watches today?

History of Certina watches

The founding of Certina dates back to 1888. The first movements and parts for the watchmaking industry were produced by the brothers Adolf and Alfred Kuth from Grenchen in Switzerland. They were the first to produce a complete Grana ladies' wristwatch in 1906.

A few years later in 1938, however, a new watch brand was born, namely Certina. The name comes from the Latin word "certus", which translates as "reliable and accurate". However, 1959 was a breakthrough year, when the DS - Double Security concept for Certina watches was launched. It was a dual security concept that is still used in watches today.

Ladies and men's Certina watches

Swiss Certina watches are characterized by their high quality, precision and reliability. Like Tissot watches, Certina watches are currently part of the world's largest watch manufacturer, Swatch Group S. A.

Ladies Certina watches

Certina ladies watches are characterized by their luxurious design. These are mostly silver, gold or black ladies' Certina watches. Certina ladies watches are also characterised by their elegant hands.

Above all, the watch is made of stainless steel, which makes it a high quality, shock-resistant watch. The watch is also suitable for swimming or for diving. The luxurious and elegant look of the watch also adds sapphire crystal, round shape and butterfly clasp.

Men's Certina watches

Certina men's watches most often have a stainless steel bracelet or leather strap. When it comes to men's Certina watches, they mostly have battery-powered or are automatically wound. Watches for men also most often have a stainless steel bracelet or a leather strap.

These are mostly titanium or stainless steel watches. In addition to round watches are also available oval men's watches with bow tie or standard clasp. The watch is durable and suitable for swimming or for diving. In terms of design, silver, gold and the very popular black Certina men's watches are available.

Certina watches - a luxury accessory for every occasion

You can wear your Certina watch anytime, anywhere. As it is a luxurious and elegant watch, you can wear it on special occasions. However, Certina watches are also suitable for everyday wear. In addition to the nice design, the watches have Certina COSC certification and Double Security DS system. The watch shows dual time, has a date display and is also resistant to magnetic fields.

Some watches are also set with diamonds, which adds even more luxury. The price of a watch is mainly influenced by the model of the watch. Among the most expensive models are, for example, Certina Heritage watches. The cheapest, on the other hand, is the Certina DS Caimano. As these are luxury and high quality Swiss watches, the price of the cheapest ones in the IRISIMO e-shop is around 300 €. However, Certina watches are also suitable as a gift.
