About Certina
Certina, founded in 1888 by Adolf and Alfred Kurth in Grenchen, Switzerland, is a distinguished watch brand known for its precision, durability, and sporty elegance. Initially named Kurth Frères, the company adopted the name Certina in 1938, derived from the Latin word "certus," meaning "sure" or "certain," to emphasize reliability. Certina gained significant recognition in the 1950s with the introduction of its DS (Double Security) Concept, which provided exceptional shock resistance and water resistance. This innovation set new standards for sports watches, making Certina a favorite among adventurers and athletes. Certina's commitment to innovation is evident in its continuous development of robust and reliable timepieces. The DS Action Diver, compliant with ISO 6425 standards, exemplifies the brand's dedication to creating professional-grade diving watches. Certina's association with motorsports, particularly its partnership with the Sauber Formula 1 team, further underscores its sporty and dynamic image. Unique aspects of Certina include its pioneering DS Concept, its focus on creating durable and reliable sports watches, and its rich heritage of innovation. The brand's use of advanced materials, precise movements, and robust construction ensures that Certina watches are not only stylish but also capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Certina's blend of Swiss watchmaking tradition, technological advancement, and sporty design has solidified its reputation as a trusted and respected name in the world of horology.
