CORNAVIN

Founded in Geneva in 1922, Cornavin has been part of the Swiss watchmaking tradition for more than a century. The brand takes its name from one of Geneva’s best-known districts and has always been guided by the same values: precision, reliability and distinctive design, elevated by genuine watchmaking craftsmanship.

Cornavin made its mark on watchmaking history as one of the first Swiss brands to introduce a Big Date complication, and by the 1950s had already earned recognition for its elegant mechanical timepieces. Every model carries the Swiss Made designation, is hand-assembled in Switzerland and crafted from carefully selected materials with a focus on quality and longevity.

Today, Cornavin is an independent family-owned company based in Zurich and led by a new generation — siblings Souraya and Omar Najari. With deep respect for the brand’s century-old legacy, they build on its watchmaking heritage while evolving it through contemporary design, new technologies and the courage to follow their own path. This blend of tradition and modernity gives Cornavin its distinctive character.

Cornavin is an active member of today’s independent Swiss watchmaking community. As a member of the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion and a regular participant in Geneva trade fairs, the brand confirms its established place among the names shaping the future of independent Swiss watchmaking.

Cornavin is more than a watch brand. It embodies independent Swiss craftsmanship and timeless design.
