Cornavin has been part of Swiss watchmaking history since its foundation in 1922. The brand was born in Geneva and took its name from the city's central district, the one every traveller passes through. Quality, reliability and precision have been its stated standards from the start, and with a passion for detail it builds aesthetic, hand-assembled Swiss Made watches.

Outstanding design combined with high-quality watchmaking is what the brand calls the Cornavin DNA. Since its foundation it has worked at creating eye-catching Swiss Made timepieces with a highly recognisable design, and its case designs are patented. Every Cornavin is hand-assembled in Switzerland from high-quality materials, and each watch is controlled and checked throughout production.

The collection is built around the Downtown family — Downtown Sport at 44.5mm, Downtown Sky at 36mm, Downtown 3-H at 41mm and the Downtown Open Heart Automatic at 42mm — alongside the Big Date at 43mm and the Bellevue. Today the head office sits in Zurich, where the family-owned company continues to aim at exclusive but affordable timepieces, and the watches ship worldwide with a two-year warranty.
