Candino is a renowned Swiss watch brand with a long history built on the principles of independence, precision, and quality.

Founded in 1947 in the small Swiss town of Herbetswil, in the canton of Solothurn, Candino initially focused on producing high-quality mechanical timepieces - quickly earning a reputation as a reliable manufacturer. Over the decades, the company demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt to industry shifts. It became known for its commitment to providing high Swiss quality at a competitive price. During the "quartz crisis" of the 1970s, Candino successfully embraced quartz technology while continuing to produce its signature mechanical models. The brand has always upheld the "Swiss Made" philosophy, maintaining strict control over the production of all key components and processes.

In 2002, Candino joined the Festina Group, a move that expanded its global distribution and provided access to cutting-edge technology. Despite this integration, Candino has maintained its original production facility in Herbetswil.

Today, Candino remains a symbol of accessible Swiss elegance, offering timepieces that blend classic design with modern technology and traditional Swiss reliability.
