Notes

Before becoming a watch brand, Schwarz Etienne was a watch and movement manufacturer for almost a century. The brand?s ethic is ?respect and responsibility? and defines itself as a brand making ?hand-crafted luxury watches? as opposed to brands that make ?industrial luxury watches?. Unique pieces are made for collectors and there are very limited series of each other reference.
