II · The manufacture

Certina since 1888

Adolf and Alfred Kurth opened a watch-parts and movement workshop in Grenchen in 1888. The Certina name was officially registered in 1939, after earlier watches had used the Grana name. The DS, or Double Security, concept arrived in 1959 to strengthen protection against shocks and water. Certina watches accompanied the successful Dhaulagiri expedition in 1960. The Sealab II underwater project supplied another setting for testing its watches in 1965. The ASUAG–SSIH merger placed Certina in the group that became Swatch Group in 1983. In 2013, Powermatic 80 and Precidrive expanded the mechanical and quartz options. DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance added a new chapter in impact protection in 2025. Today Certina is a Swatch Group Swiss-watch brand based in Le Locle.

III · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.

  2. 2

    Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
