Festina Watches
Festina is a watch brand with deep roots in Switzerland. The company was founded in La Chaux-de-Fond, Switzerland in 1902. There the company started manufacturing high quality watches. During the over one hundred years that the company has seen, their secret to success has been an excellent performance and affordable prices. The company has become well-known from their extremely accurate Swiss mechanical watches. The crisis of quartz watches almost put a stop to the Swiss watch industry completely. Because of this even Festina had to change their strategy. Miguel Rodrigues, the owner of the Spanish Lotus watch brand, bought the company in 1984, after which it was called Festina Lotus S.A. After the switch in ownership their headquarters have been in Barcelona. Festina wristwatches began using very accurate Japanese quartz mechanisms. Today, the most popular Festina models are compiled in Japan by Citizen watch company. The top models are designed and compiled in their own factories in Spain and China.
