Early Swiss Watch Making in Geneva and NeuchatelHowever, while the watch making industry was developing in France, it gave forth a seed which took root in new soil. In the hill country of eastern France, in the town of Autun, there lived a watchmaker named Charles Cusin. One day, in 1574, for reasons that we do not know, he moved a few miles eastward across the border into Switzerland and there settled in the beautiful lake city of Geneva. He probably had no thought that this personal act of a private citizen would have an effect upon history, but an industry employing thousands of people and making millions of dollars worth of goods can be traced back to the time when he crossed the border.

Remember that this was back in the days of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth, while watches were still esteemed jewels watch and ornaments for the wealthy, and when the improvements which later made them practically useful had not yet been invented. The business side of watch-making was thus growing up at the same time with the inventive and scientific; it was preparing itself for the day when the mechanism should be perfected, and the only remaining task would be to popularize its perfection. watch

Ticino Watch Co. History

Years of research and development went into our production of Ticino watches. As long time students of the art of horology and custom watch builders, we decided to come out with a wide range of mechanical timepieces for beginning and long time enthusiasts alike of this wonderful trade. Granted many fine watches originated from Switzerland; however, in today’s world we have taken technology from all facets of watch making to bring to the people mechanical masterpieces of only top engineering innovation.

As our love of horology has grown, so has our passion to produce our own line of watches, bearing in mind exactly what we and the consumer have cherished throughout our lifetime of experience. All our models took over 12 months of time to produce what we feel will truly represent the qualities of old school watch making in a modern day market. At Ticino, we are not interested in being tomorrow’s big name brand watch. We strictly want to target beginner and avid collectors and admirers of this long time tradition. You won’t see cliché model names on our watches, we are more concerned with spending our time in finding today’s top technology and placing it as the focal point of our design.

What we have really enjoyed is seeing others reactions as we traveled trade shows and events displaying and selling our custom timepieces . After many custom watch builds which were sold and given away at the beginning, we are now proud to offer this modest line of watches all built of highest standards in quality assurance and accuracy to a broader range of customers.

Here at Ticino, we felt now is the right time for our release. We have source the finest quality materials for the customers’ dollar. Although we make no representation of price on our watches, we try to let the market price our watches accordingly, just like the beginning days of the watchmaker. Our pride comes from the satisfaction we can deliver and at what level. Thank you for considering purchasing one of our timepieces and we hope to meet with many of you at local trade shows and various events.
