Before becoming a watch brand, Schwarz Etienne was a watch and movement manufacturer for almost a century, since 1902. 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.
