Swiss Made The Festina Group
The Festina Group is one of the world's leading watchmakers. Its head office is in Madrid and its logistics platform in Barcelona. The company was founded in 1980. It produces five watch brands for the world market — Festina, Lotus, Candino, Jaguar and Calypso — and two jewellery brands, Lotus Style and Lotus Silver.
By offering brands with distinct styles and a wide choice within each of them, the group answers the expectations of every customer who wants a carefully made product and a watch built to a standard. Its brands are known internationally: leaders in Spain and France, they are among the best sellers in the Italian, German, Belgian and Swiss markets.
The group manufactures the components and precision parts of its movements itself, on equipment developed in Spain, Switzerland and France. Controlling production means controlling quality and cost — and so offering its products at a fair price. Its industrial scale reflects an approach that is both innovative and competitive.
With seven subsidiaries — France, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and Chile — Festina Group products are sold in 91 countries through 25,000 points of sale across five continents. The group exhibits at the most influential watch and jewellery fairs, among them Baselworld (Basel), the JCK Show (Las Vegas), JA (New York) and Inhorgenta (Munich).
In Algeria the group is represented by Gold Time Company, official distributor of its six maisons.
