About Quinting

The Quinting watches are the first 100% transparent watches around the world. They cannot be copied because of the complexity of the unique sapphire movement. The manufacture was founded in 2000. It was created in Geneva by five engineers– three watchmakers, one automotive engineer, and one electromechanical research engineer, Pascal Berclaz, current President of Quinting – decided to attempt to achieve the impossible: create a completely transparent chronograph. 7 years of research and 15 million dollars of investment were necessary to take on the challenge and a completely transparent chronograph with a sapphire movement, unique to the world, was created. This feat was immediately awarded by the prestigious “Prix Officiel de la Revue des Montres.” Quinting’s movement is composed of a superposition of sapphire discs, stationary and mobile, the distance between each sapphire measures 0,08 to 0,1 mm.
